August 1, 1929. "EARLY DAY SCHOOL MAN DEAD". -- Word came to Sidney the latter part of last week of the death of C. H. Dye, who a good many years ago served as superintendent of schools at Sidney. Mr. Dye had not been active in school circles for a number of years, having retired to a ranch in the west. There are, however, a number of Sidney citizens left who will kindly remember this early-day educator and deeply deplore his passing. N.B.: Charles Henry Dye established a high school course in Sidney, starting in the fall of 1882. After graduating the first class of senior students in 1886 (?), he and his wife and family left Sidney, but evidently kept up contact: SEE the post entitled "Famous woman - Mrs. Eva Emerey Dye - returns to visit Sidney". His wife won wide-spread fame by writing historical novels, many based on the history of the Far West. I'd like to think some of her inspiration stems from Sidney contacts, but I have found nothing to suggest this from scanning a listing of her professional papers.--W.F.
