I was told that my great grandmother had taught school in the Allamakee
County area. She was born Mary O'Meara in 1876 and died in the 1920s or
1930s. She married John McLaughlin in 1901. Since I doubt that anyone
could still be alive who had a personal recollection of her, I wondered how
extensive were the "applications" teachers had to fill out at the turn of
the century, or if there were any. I'm not sure even what school she taught
at. I'd like to find out more about her as a person, not just as
statistics. Does anyone have any suggestions?
