Bernice Irene Grosh was born January 11, 1892 in Welsh, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, to John Wesley Grosh and Electa Jane Bushnell. Welsh was a small town in the southwestern part of Louisiana. Bernice came to Arizona where she married her first husband, Charles Melvin Marshall, who was a barber in Flagstaff, Arizona. They had two daughters, one being born in 1913 and the other in 1914. I first knew Mrs. Moore in 1933 when she was teaching school in Garland Prairie, Coconino County, Arizona. I was in the 3rd grade. It was a little one room school with grades from the 1st to the 8th. The school kids all rode horses to school or if they were close enough, they walked. Our little school had the distinction of being the only school in the state of Arizona that held classes in the summer. The winters were too severe to hold classes at that time. Our school started in May sometime and ended in October. All depending on the weather, it sometimes lasted until Halloween. At the time Mrs. Moore was teaching school on the Prairie, she was married to Paul Clifford Moore. I thought the two girls belonged to Mr. Moore as they went by the Moore surname. Paul Moore was a cowboy from Texas who worked for the Perkins Cattle Company at Perkinsville, Arizona. Mrs. Moore was the best teacher I ever had. All the kids loved her, as she had a way of teaching that made it all so interesting. She would read a couple of chapters from a Zane Grey western story or the Will James books to us each day after lunch. By doing so, she created an interest in reading for each one of us, an interest that has stayed with me all my life. Mrs. Moore lived in a little one room teacher's house in the school yard. Many times she wore a nice heavy skirt, western blouse and her cowboy boots to school. She always looked so pretty. I believe she taught at the Prairie school for three years while I was there and then she was replaced by a Mrs. Anderson. I never saw her again and I never heard of her teaching school anywhere else. I do know one thing, she was sorely missed!
