Married Charles Keen Soyars on December 18, 1918.

She was a teacher at Cascade Elementary School in Cascade, VA. She taught students in grades 1 thru 3 in a building with two school rooms, a central room used during bad weather days for recess and one extra unused room.

Her school room was heated with a big pot-bellied coal burning stove. And, the boys in her class kept the coal bucket near the stove full from a large coal pile outside the building.

As a personal note, during the late 1940s and early 1950s she taught my two brothers, two sisters and me how to read and write. She was also the teacher for all of the other young children in the Cascade Community for many years.

She was a wonderful person and a much loved teacher by all of her students and their parents. I loved her, too. Jack Mitchell
