Lackawanna Township School Board
Selects Those for Ensuing Term - 1898
The Lackawanna township school board met in monthly session at No. 1 school, Minooka, last evening and hired teachers for the ensuing term. No change was made in the salaries. Professor Joseph Mulderig of the Continental school has taken up his residence in New York. He did not apply, and the vacancy thus caused was filled by appointment of Miss Annie M. Brown of Minooka. Miss Annie King of Minooka was appointed general substitute. The directors present were John McCrindle, Thomas R. Lovering, Thomas King, Thomas F. Coyne and William Thomas. Dennie O'Lenahan was absent.
The teachers hired were:
No. 1 - Thomas P. Joyce, principal; Celia Nallin, intermediate; Mamie Gibbons, Mamie Langan, Mamie Egan, Mamie Coyne and Katherine Jeffers.
No. 2 - Thomas J. Coyne, principal, Jennie Loughney, intermediate; Annie Fitzhenry, primary.
I thought having a "Miss Margaret Walsh" for both kindergarten and first grade at Wilson was something! Four "Mamies" must have been a record.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I was laughing as I was typing all those Mamies. :)
