Notes |
- Gene Harris: Okay. And let's go to the next one, which is Lillian R. BOOTH. Do you remember what Lillian's middle in- -- middle name was? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Barrett. Gene Harris: Okay. So it's Lillian B. BOOTH? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Yes. Lillian Barrett BOOTH. Gene Harris: Okay. And she was born was 21 25 May, 1903? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Uh-huh. Gene Harris: What do you remember of her?
FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Well, Aunt, Aunt Lillian, Aunt Lillian taught school. She taught in a one-room school. Gene Harris: Which school was that? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: One-room school down at -- Gene Harris: Was that Otterdam School? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- located at Otter Dam Wall (phonetic). Gene Harris: Okay. So that was the old Otterdam school, then? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Yeah. Gene Harris: Old white, white clapboard building? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Yes. And she drove old Billy, the horse, and her buggy to the school and back again. And she taught a small amount of children between one, first grade and seventh. And each summer she would go to summer school with the money she made teaching school in the winter until she got two years of college, and then later she went, you were required to have four years, so she went to school and got her degree in that.
And that's, I knew she was an achiever. There are so many stories about her. Because she, she got into a law course where most of them were guys. And she told me that two of them walked in, and they all started at these two girls in the law course. And, and then when the, they took the exams and so forth, they all were wondering what they were going to get, but only a few of them passed, and she was one of them. And, and she was, she was....
FRANCIS A. BOOTH: She, she was a crackerjack teacher. She taught school for 40 years. And she told me before she died that she enjoyed every minute of it. I could not believe that, but that's what she said.2 SOUR S236
