casionally, the Daily Examiner of
Bellefountaine, Ohio, says: David
R. Hennesey, hardware dealer, re-
calls that Fannie Gretchen, now Mrs.
Fannie Gretchen Chamberlain, of New
York City, was his first teacher in the
old Bellefountaine Union school. I
that she was a mighty fine
teacher, too, but then | always liked
my teachers and thought they were all
lovely said Mr. Hennesey. L was in
the room, the first grade over at the
Union school, | recall, with AL More
now of Springfield, with Emerson
Smith, who is a druggist in the West |
some place, and with Johnny PIN, son |
Of Jacob PIN, a miller. We went to |
school twice day and got out in the |
mornings about 80 and in the after |
noon about $780, Fannie Gretchen |
came to this city from DeGraff ant
ahe was indeed superior teacher. |
She taught, later on, what was known |
IS the bloody Sixth in those days, o |
grade wherein some of the most un |
July boys in town were gathered !
They made life one long season OF |
horror for the teachers, but Mis-
Gretchen was deemed canable to mas
er the situation by Superintendent |
Joseph Shaw. She went to it and
conquered them gradually, at least
enough so to gain a fairly peaceable
existence. Miss Gretchen married
Mack Chamberlain, of Chicago, and
hey lived in that city for some time.
Her husband died some years ago.
she has two daughters and one son |
md she resides in New York with
laughter. She visits in this city ev.
Try few years. always being the
quest OF Mrs. L. H. Lane, a former
'upfl, here in the grades. When
MISS Gretchen arrived in Bellefon-
aine she was considered quite a
omely young woman, being of bru
lette type. She made quite an i'm.
'ression on Mr.. Hennesey, evidently,
s he unused over the past, and spoke /
avorably of the Impressions that she I
lad left on his mind"
