All I know is that Raymond and Leonard were brothers. No other siblings I know of. Edna and Ray had one daughter, Eloise, as I mentioned, who also taught school in her mother's shadow, but checking my yearbooks she didn't show up at the Elizabeth Schools until 1959-60. I was only three years off, but she and her mother did teach in the same school together. I mention it only because I remember her when I was in school. Eloise had no children that I know of. The Stauss line ended with her.<br /><br />I'm just name dropping~ I know many of th people in these diaries, so I just have to make comments to sound important! Some of these entries hit pretty close to home for me.<br /><br />It's great that you were able to find Lillian's "lost" diaries! Good old Janet Temperly came through yet again! She was the source for 80% of my John Dittmar family information in my Dittmar history.Pat Gilmorehttp://aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341048312405719251.post-31955100581388242552010-04-20T18:12:28.949-04:002010-04-20T18:12:28.949-04:00So Pat...

She was married to Raymond Stauss, Len's brother. She was a kindly old lady by the time she taught me in school, but I will never forget when she had us do a quick multiplication test at the beginning of the school year to see how much we had retained over the summer from our 4th Grade year she told me, "I know you can do better than this!". It affected me so much that I made a determined effort to relearn my multiplication tables and never had a problem with multiplication again! Her daughter by this time was the 2nd Grade teacher in Elizabeth, so we had a mother/daughter pair of teachers in our school.Pat Gilmorehttp://aol.comnoreply@blogger.com
