Kent State University, founded in 1910 I think, started out as a normal school for the education of new teachers. Maybe this is where she met him!!! Briana in Munroe Falls

Kent State University in Kent started out as a normal school to train teachers in 1911. In 1929 it became Kent State College, and in 1938 Kent State University. I believe the Clapps had a farm very close to the University. Jackie

What is now Kent State University was originally a Normal School for training teachers. ******************************************** > My grandmother Alice Gertrude COLLINS was born in Palmyra,Portage Co.,in 1877 > and spoke often of having gone to Normal School.

My grandmother Alice Gertrude COLLINS was born in Palmyra,Portage Co.,in 1877 and spoke often of having gone to Normal School. Was this a form of college or a school for future teachers? and if she had moved to Ravenna where would that school have been- perhaps Kent? I believe she was still attending school when she met my grandfather William CLAPP who lived in Kent. Any fact or fiction will be much appreciated. Peggy in Florida

Sandy, My Portage County surnames are Redfield, Jerome, Ward, Shewell, Sabin, and Donnell. I don't think we connect. But thank you!
