ELLA A. CHESLEY
There is no death the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forevermore.
Vermont has produced many strong
men and women and she has ever
shared these with the states of the
nation. Born at Greensboro, Deem
Der 18th, 1851, daughter of Albert
and Lydia Chesley, educated at the
Orleans Liberal Institute at Glover
and graduating at Goddard seminary
in the class of 1871, Ella A. Chesley
early began a career as a public
teacher that did much to mould and
shape the lives and character sof those
Miss Chesley was remarks able woman.
While yet under ID years of age we
find her teaching in the rural schools
in nearby towns, later her fame as
successful instructor reached wider
fields and she continued her labor in
the neighboring state of New Hamp-
shire until 1886 when she went to
Minneapolis where for rs years she
proved her worth and character The
Minneapolis Journal speaks of her as
ga pioneer public school teacher, who
began her teaching in that city under
o. Valentine Tousley, the city's first
superintendent of public schools.
Completing her quarter of century
in the city schools she was granted a
full pension in 1911. In 1913 she went
to Denver, Colorado and year ago
went to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
where she died June .13. last. Her
body was brought to East Burke for
burial. She had always considered the
quiet little village Nesting under the
towering peak Of Burke Moutain as
her home. Here mid the quiet scenes
she often visited and loved so we'll we
tenderly laid her to rest till that great
day when the eternal morning shall
dawn on all that have gone before.
She is survived by two sisters. Mrs.
T. E. Wyman of East Burke and Mrs.
j. S. Wiley of Boston. Miss Chesley
