Excerpts from article "Remembering . . . J.K. Osgerby", East Tawas Herald, August 16, 1978:
The late J.K. Osgerby and his wife, Reine T., compiled a combined record of 83½ years of teaching service to boys and girls of this community and many other parts of the state . . . .
Osgerby, who served as superintendent at East Tawas from 1890 until 1897 and returned to the same position from 1921 until 1929, compiled 52 years of teaching schools in this state; his wife served as a teacher for 31½ years. . . .
During his two terms of superintendent at East Tawas, Osgerby's wife was principal of the Iosco County Normal for 18 years, retiring in June 1939.
"Her long distinguished service is an achievement of which she can be very proud, for its inspiration and influence cannot be measured," stated the Herald upon her retirement.
She began her teaching career at the age of 17 years in the Wexford County rural schools, serving three years on a salary of $25 to $28 per month. Following her experience in the rural schools, she taught four years at Cadillac.
In 1905, she entered County Normal work at Standish and, in 1906, organized the Saginaw County Normal. During that year she was united in marriage to Osgerby. She taught English and history for four years at Vassar High School and spent one year in the public schools of Caro before coming to the county normal at East Tawas. . . .
