Bessie Sawyer, Teacher Here 45 Years, Dies Taught Elementary Penmanship to Thousands of Pupils Miss Bessie Sawyer, 65, who directly or indirectly had taught thousands of East St. Louis pupils the basic principle of good penmanship, died in St. Mary's hospital at 2:07 a.m. Wednesday after an illness of several weeks. She had been a member of the educational staff for 45 years and was supervisor of penmanship since 1911. Miss Sawyer was born in Nashville and was graduated from grade and high schools there after which she attended the Southern Illinois Normal university at Carbondale. In 1896 she began as a teacher in East St. Louis schools and acheived particular notice for her ability to teach children how to write well. Filled Requirements "In 1911 we were looking for a teacher to become penmanship supervisor," D. Walter Potts, superintendent of schools, recalled Wednesday when asked for details of Miss Sawyer's long school career. "Up to that time we had had no penmanship supervisor and teaching of penmanship was largely a matter of the individual ideas of classroom teachers. "Writing is one of the three 'r's' that form the basic principle of education. We had heard a lot about Miss Sawyer's ability. I went down to see her and told her we wanted someone who could do as well in supervising penmanship in East St. Louis schools as she had done at the Franklin. "She said she didn't think she could do nearly that well with such a big territory but results prove that she did an excellent job. Handwriting in our schools improved tremendously under her direction and examples have been exhibited with distinction at national conventions of penmanship supervisors." "Miss Sawyer's entire life centered on her work in the schools and her church," Miss Carmen Trimmer, with whom she lived at 572 Veronica said. Miss Sawyer was a trustee of the First Presbyterian church, a member of Rob Morris chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and of the church missionary society. She also was a member of the national and state organizations of penmanship supervisors and athe Illinois and National Education associations. Much of her conversation centered about former pupils she met on her trips around the city visiting schools in her supervisory capacity. She had an unusual memory for faces and could recall names of pupils she had had many years before. In her teaching of penmanship she started in primary grades by training the use of muscles in writing huge blackboard letters and figures. She used a scientific approach in the instrction. Miss Sawyer is survived by a brother F. O. Sawyer, Sr., of New Orleans. Funeral services will be under the direction of Kurrus. Arrangements are listed in the classified section.

City Schools Close at Noon Tomorrow In Tribute to Will M. Sawyer, Board President, Rites at First Presbyterian Funeral rites for Will M. Sawyer, prominent citizen, business man and president of Du Quoin's city school board of education, who passed away at 1:15 Tuesday afternoon at Marshall Browning Hospital, will be held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church in which he held membership. Interment will be made in Sunset Memorial Cemetery. The pastor, Rev. William M. Maxton, will officiate. Members of the school board with whom Mr. Sawyer had been closely associated since his election to the presidency last April, at a special meeting last evening, voted to dismiss school tomorrow afternoon. Members of the board and the entire teaching corps will attend the rites in a body. It is not an agreeable duty to write that Will Sawyer has gone. But it is a pleasant employment to tell how decent he was, how fair his estimate of men, how wholesome his appreciation of friendships, how numerous his admirers and how nonexistent his enemies. He was born at Nashville, Illinois, November 1, 1879 and at his sudden and untimely passing was approaching his 59th birthday. His parents were Francis O. and Mary E. Sawyer, among the early residents of that Washington county town. His marriage to Georganna Anderson ocurred at Nashville August 16, 1904. For a time Mr. Sawyer engaged in business at Equality where he was associated with his brother-in-law, Palmer Anderson. The family afterwards located in Cairo where Mr. Sawyer held a position as traveling salesman for the Denison-Gholson Dry Goods Company, a flourishing concern a quarter of a century ago. About 20 years ago Mr. Sawyer became identified with the Ely & Walker Dry Goods Co. of St. Louis as their Southern Illinois representative, a connection he held uninterruptedly until his death. During his long service with this firm he formed innumerable friendships among merchants in the territory he so frequently contacted. His connection with Ely & Walker extended over the years the late Charles M. English, and in later years Frank Sims, since retired and L. W. Proctor were in charge of the Southern Illinois division. There had long been a kindly mutual admiration among theses gentlemen. Mr. Sawyer's fraternal connections were with the Masons and Elks. Last April he was persuaded by friends to become a candidate for president of the Du Quoin city school board, his maiden venture in local political or school affairs. He was elected by a gratifying majority, attesting to the esteem of hundreds of friends throughout the city. Mr. Sawyer's election to this office gave him an opportunity to manifest the enviable traits so pre-eminently a part of his personality. His program of future school activities, cut short by his passing, included formation of a grade school band with a full time director and other progressive moves he was eager to effect. Will Sawyer will be admired and remembered for his manly traits, perhaps none of which was more genuinely outstanding than his unswerving loyalty to friends, a characteristic he chose to cultivate. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Georganna Anderson Sawyer, three daughters, Mrs. A. F. (Julia) Bulfer of Chicago, Mrs. Robert L. (Helen) Powell of Norfolk, Va., and Miss Lillian Sawyer, at home, two sons, George and Robert Sawyer, associated with their father in the business here that bears their name, one brother, F. O. Sawyer of New Orleans and one sister, Miss Bessie E. J. Sawyer, supervisor of penmanship in the city schools of East St. Louis. The remains have been taken to the family home, 365 East Poplar, where friends who wish may call up to the hour of the funeral Thursday afternoon. The casket will not be opened at the church.

Klaisle, 18 of 113 Spring St. & Mrs. Arabella Stoddard, 65 of 1419 Madison St. are dead as the result of automobile accidents in Syracuse Streets last night. Mrs. Arabella Stoddard died instantly when struck by the car operated by Herbert Monty, Three Rivers, at East Genesee & Bassett Streets at 5:30 o'clock last night. Monty said he saw the moving form directly in front of the car & although he acted instantly to stop the car, it was too late. Mrs. Stoddard had been knocked to the pavement & the front wheels had passed over her body. She was pronounced dead by Dr. Israel Herman, 310 East Genesee St., who arrived within minutes. Mrs. Stoddard's daughter said her mother was returning from her work at Syracuse University Fraternity House.

In Time for Funeral. Mrs. Arabella Stoddard's Body is Taken to Fulton for Burial. Radio accounts of the death of Mrs. Arabella Stoddard, 65 of 1419 Madison Street, killed by an automobile at East Genesee & Bassett Streets early Monday night, reached one son whose address was unknown to relatives. Frederick H. Stoddard, working nights in a Philadelphia woolen mill, read the account of his mother's death as he started for work at 5 o'clock last night. Within five hours after the accident, Carl Woese, Syracuse University Engineering Student, who sends out the Sunday night sermons of Rev. Dr. Bernard C. Clausen from Radio Station WFAB and McBride St., had broadcast full accounts of the accident & told how the two sons whose addresses were unknown, Frederick H. & Orrie Stoddard, might communicate with Syracuse relatives. Frederick Stoddard, who arrived this morning said, "on my way to work last night I saw the account of my mother's death in a newspaper as broadcast by Mr. Woese. Without waiting to eat, I went to the mills & told the foreman my mother had been killed." Telegrams from acquaintances in the vicinity of New York show that before wire accounts of the tragedy were received, radio fans had communicated with the newspaper of the account received by them from Mr. Woese's station. No word has been received from Orrie Stoddard, the son who graduated as a professor of Chemistry from Columbia University & was thought to be teaching near Metropolis. The Rev. C. L. Meyers conducted funeral services at the home, 1419 Madison St. at 1 o'clock today & W. A. Drinkwine took the body to Fulton for burial.

From the June 10, 1903 edition: GRUESOME DISCOVERY Winifred S. Taft and Frederick F. Stoddard While on a Fishing Expediton, are Killed By Lightning The shocking intelligence of the tragic death of Frederick F. Stoddard and Winifred S. Taft has just been received at this office. It is learned that both men went fishing on Lake Neahtawanta yesterday afternoon. When the severe electric storm came up they went ashore, and taking their boat with them, turned it bottom side up, tilting it against a tree and using it as a shelter from the rain. This was between North Bay and Stony Point, almost immediately back of the Charles Case place. The prolonged absence of Mr. Taft alarmed his son, Mr. Ovid Taft, who started out to find him. The boat was found in the position described; the top branches of the tree were shattered by lightning and the gruesome discovery was made of the bodies of both men, in a sitting posture under the boat, their eyes wide open, one with a pipe in his mouth, both dead. The summons had been instantaneous, although no marks on the bodies were visible. The shock to the son of the deceased may be faintly imagined, but it cannot be described. Winifred S. Taft was a mason by occupation, a deputy sheriff and a member of Hiram Lodge, F and A M. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Orrin Bogardus, and a son. Fred F. Stoddard had only recently recovered from quite a serious illness. He is survived by a wife and son. From the June 17, 1903 edition: FREDERICK F. STODDARD The funeral services over the remains of Frederick F. Stoddard, aged 54, were held from his late home on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the Rev. G. R. Foster officiating. The deceased was born in Granby and had resided in this vicinity nearly all his life, although he had been an extensive traveller. The funeral was largely attended, the members of the Bricklayer's Union and the Select Knights attending in a body. The floral tributes were in abundance and most beautiful. Music was furnished by a quarteete composed of Mrs. William Moon, Miss Maude Newell and Messrs. George B. Fairman and H. Pollard. Interment was made in Mount Adnah.
