A long time teacher in the Menasha school system, She taught sixth grade and, pictured here, second grade at the Second Ward School located at Tayco and Second. In subsequent years, she taught art in Upper Michigan and was even mentioned in P. V. Lawson's 1908 History of Winnebago County. She later married Richard. N. Hine, manager for the Menasha Ice & Fuel Company.
(Gotta love the stage direction of the photographer or whomever though having the first row of girls sitting there with their arms folded like that was a good idea. The boys look waif-like; the girls just look defiant.)
I own their home at 76 Tayco - I'm curious, do you have any other photo's of the Hine family?
