Cora Daugherty Aldous was born March 2, 1900, in Flagstaff and died Feb. 21 in Wickenburg Community Hospital. She obtained a teaching certificate in Flagstaff and began a teaching career that lasted 46 years.
Her first position in 1919 was in a one room school in Concho, Apache County, where she taught 76 pupil. The next year she served as a substitute teacher at the old MacDowell Cattle Ranch in Douglas. She taught for a year in the Old Falls School in Oak Creek Canyon. In 1924 she came to Wickenburg where she taught for 42 years, retiring in 1965.
She taught, loved and inspired many hundreds of Wickenburg boys and girls. She began teaching in the Little Red Schoolhouse and taught first, third, fourth and sixth grades over 42 years.
She was dropped for 12 years from the faculty when it was discovered that she had married Newell Aldous on June 20, 1929, in Lordsburg, N. M. Married teachers could not hold a job during the depression.
