Ancestry Saturday: Teacher-Pupil Cousins


A recent, interesting find was my Great Grandfather Royal Platt's first cousins Minnie and Lizzie.  This copy of an article from 1906 made a history book on the town of Bloomdale, Ohio.

What's interesting is that Lizzie, born in 1883, was teacher to Minnie, her sister, born in 1897.

Lizzie (aka Betty)
Both were part of a previously unknown part of my family.  Now, thanks to a third cousin and thanks to a history book, I have photos.

  1. I had the privilege of teaching both my youngest brother and oldest son. I was primarily a math teacher but spent time teaching computer coding in the 1970s and that was the class where I had my brother, Dan, as a student. My son, also named Dan, played high school soccer and I was the instructor for the high school physical education soccer class as well the soccer coach. Good memories.
