I am looking for a teacher who taught her nephew from third to six grade. Her brother was the principal of hot springs. She was very hard on kids and spanked one child really hard that he and his mother left to life near another school. Do you know who this teacher would have been. She would have taught somewhere around 1938 plus. In Hot Springs ?Elementary, in T or C. -----Original Message----- From: nmdonaan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nmdonaan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of nmdonaan-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 12:01 AM To: nmdonaan@rootsweb.com Subject: NMDONAAN Digest, Vol 6, Issue 22 Today's Topics: 1.

See below. What information are you looking for ? Billy Earley's vision shines in Florence: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice Arizona Daily Star, The (Tucson, AZ) - March 9, 1996 Deceased Name: Billy Earley's vision shines in Florence Florence resident Billy Earley, who made bandages for soldiers in two world wars and honored the memory of silent-screen star Tom Mix, died early Wednesday. She was 107. Earley, whose long history of community service drew attention far beyond her Pinal County town of Florence, suffered a stroke Tuesday. She died the next day at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. The stroke came two days after Earley, known for her sharp wit and energy that seemed to barely diminish with age, served as grand marshal of the Founders Day Parade in Florence. ''I've met (Calvin) Coolidge, (Franklin) Roosevelt and Harry Truman, but this will be my first inauguration,'' the Democratic Party activist said at the age of 104, when she flew to Washington, D.C., to see Bill Clinton sworn in as president. Earley, a native of New York City who moved to Florence in 1929, wrapped bandages and taught Red Cross first-aid classes during World War I and II. She outlived two husbands, including her second spouse, longtime Pinal County sheriff and assessor Lynn Earley, who died in 1981. She reared three children, taught Sunday school, raised funds for crippled youngsters, hiked the Grand Canyon as a Girl Scout leader and helped preserve Pinal County history, most recently though efforts to restore the old Silver King Hotel in Florence. ''She had a feeling of responsibility to make a difference in the world,'' said her daughter-in-law, Doris Earley. Billy Earley put it another way in a 1989 interview: ''I have been privileged to serve God and country and community. But I do these things because I'm selfish. I enjoy doing them, and they keep me busy.'' In 1980, Earley led a fund-raising drive that persuaded Florence officials to plant 79 cottonwood trees along a street renamed in honor of town founder Levi Ruggles. She also led efforts to restore a vandalized monument to cowboy movie star Tom Mix on the Pinal Pioneer Parkway. Gov. Rose Mofford presented her with the 1988 Governor's Award for Historic Preservation. In 1995, Earley received a Jefferson Award for community service. ''A lot of people didn't even know that she was blind'' since losing virtually all her vision in the early 1970s, her daughter-in-law recalled. ''She used other people's eyes to assist her.'' Survivors include sons Wayne Earley of Phoenix and Roland Leeman of Florence; a daughter, Angie Earley of Tucson; three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A graveside service is scheduled for 10 a.m. today at Florence Cemetery, followed by an 11 a.m. memorial service at First Presbyterian Church in Florence. The family suggests memorial donations be made to First Presbyterian Church, 225 E. Butte Ave., Florence, AZ 85232; or to the Florence Historical Society, 715 S. Main St., Florence, AZ 85232. In 1994, Arizona Daily Star reporter Doug Kreutz filed an "earley.htm" in-depth feature about Earley's efforts to preserve the statute of Tony the Wonder Horse, Tom Mix's steed.
