1909-1912 Student Roster & Visitor Log of Teacher Idella F. Gray at Schools in Orrington, Hebron, Medford, Peru & Bradford, Maine.

1909-1912 student roster and visitor log of teacher Idella F. Gray at schools in several towns in Maine:
  • Goodale's Corner, Orrington, Maine
  • Hebron, Maine
  • Upper Ferry, Medford, Maine
  • Peru Center, Peru, Maine
  • Bradford Center, Maine
Idella wrote her name on the first end paper.


From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:

Idella F. Gray (1892-1991) was born 27 June 1892 at Bucksport, Maine, the daughter of George W. Gray and Emma (Grindle) Gray.  Accordingly to the US Censuses, Idella lived with her parents in Bucksport and in Orrington, Maine, and then went to Hebron in 1910 to teach. After that came teaching stints in the Maine towns of Medford, Peru and Bradford

On 4 December 1916 at Bradford, Maine, Idella was married to Ray Earl King (1894-1874), son of Charles Henry King and Louise H. (Salley) King. Ray was born 6 February 1894 at Bradford. 

Idella and Ray lived with Ray's parents at Bradford, Maine, where Ray farmed and Idella, according to the 1920 and 1930 Censuses, continued to teach school.  I didn't find a record of children for the couple.
