Miss Dale, who was born Apr. 5, 1872, in Cedar county, Missouri, had taught school in Canadian county 52 years. She taught three years at Banner, starting in 1889, before beginning her long service at El Reno on Nov. 30, 1892.
50 YEARS AT CENTRAL
She completed 50 years of service as principal of Central school in May 1942, and although she resigned from the faculty that month, she re-entered the system in fall of 1942 to teach one more year, as a member of the high school staff. She was principal at Central school from the time it was founded until her resignation.
Miss Dale, who taught with every superintendent of schools that El Reno ever has had, earned the distinction of holding a position in the same school system longer than any teacher in Oklahoma.
Numerous high honors were won by Miss Dale through her long years of service to the schools, and many glowing tributes have been accorded her by persons in all walks of life.
Survivors include five sisters, Mrs. Mary Klapp of Tecumseh, Mrs. Ella Post of Topeka, Kan., Mrs. Amanda Brooke of Las Vegas, N.M., Mrs. Florence Smith of Venice, Calif., and Mrs. Ida Morgan of San Jose, Calif.; a brother-in-law, J. E. Penner, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. O. L. Dale, both of El Reno; nine nephews and seven nieces.
