The Evening Star, January 31, 1928 Teacher Ends 30 Years Service in D.C. Schools
Mrs. A.L. Martin Began as Miss Emma Doyle at Amidon Building Took 14 Year "Recess" After Marriage in 1894, and Returned to Van Buren
Thirty years of active teaching in the public schools of the District will end tomorrow for Mrs. A.L. Martin when she retires as teacher of the second grade at the Van Buren School, Thirteenth and W streets southeast. Mrs. Martin who will be remembered by many of her older pupils as Miss Emma A. Doyle, has taught at the Van Buren School since 1908, when she returned to the school service after a "recess" of 14 years begun in June 1894, when she was married. As Miss Doyle, the retiring teacher was first appointed to the service February 1, 1884, when she became a teacher in the Amidon School, Sixth and F streets southwest. In 1888 she was promoted to the Smallwood School where she remained until her marriage when she resigned from the service. Ten years later, however, Mrs. Martin passed a competitive examination for reappointment and she was assigned to the Van Buren School. Mrs. Martin is a sister of Capt. Robert E. Doyle of the eighth police precinct.
