Mother,

and
fondly
remembered
elementary
school
teacher
who
taught
in
many
one-room
schoolhouses
in
and
around
Haldimand
County
as
well
as
supply
teaching
for
many
years.
There
are
still
a
few
of
her
former
students
still
around
Haldimand
County
that
recall
Ethel's
teaching
abilities
as
well
as
her
quick
hand
at
classroom
discipline.
Allison

elementary
school
in
Cayuga
at
J.
L.
