Miss Madge Pyle, a teacher in the schools of Cedar and adjoining counties for about fifty years, passed away Tuesday morning, May 27. She had been in failing health for some time.
The deceased started teaching school when she was sixteen years of age, and followed that profession most of her life and retired but a few years ago.
Her influence is probably reflected by more people in the area than any other living teacher.
She is survived by two brothers, John of Stockton, and Clyde of Greenfield; two sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Rountree and Mrs. Josie Rountree, both of Stockton and a number of nephews and nieces.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Frank Calame in the Mt. Carmel Church on Wednesday afternoon, May 28. Interment was in Good Hope Cemetery.
Madge's brother, John Thomas Pyle is quoted as saying, "Madge started to school when she was five. For the rest of her life she was either going to school or teaching school."
