"Nellie," as her friends call her,
is a small woman with perennial
twinkle in her eye which must
have been obtained from her many
years in Wood burn's Lincoln
School where she taught first
grade. For It years she was prin
cipal of the school. She now walks
with a limp caused by a hip in
jury several years ago but her wit
makes any group of casual ac
quaintances friends in a few min
uteslaughing over her remarks.
She was a charter member of
Woodburn Business and Profes
sional Women's Club, past presi
dent of Woodburn Garden Club and
Chapter J. PEO Sisterhood, a past
matron of the Moro Order of the
Eastern Star chapter. She also be
longed to Woodburn woman's Club

children and their love for her was
the naming of the Woodburn high

Born In Illinois
Mrs. Muir was born in Illinois
and is a graduate of Kansas Nor
mal school. She has taken addi
Uonal work at the University of
Oregon and OCE. Her first school
was a sod house In Kansas when
she was M years old. Through the
years she has followed the lives
of her students. Former students
often come to see her and remem
ber her with letters and cards at
Christmas.
She still keeps abreast with
modern education laws and meth
ods and purchases the latest pri
mary books. Her many acts of
charity are unknown to many
people but many a child who
desperately needed shoes or other
clothing had them given to him by
Mrs. Muir. Also given from time
to time were medical care and
food, from this unknown donor.
A teacher for over 50 years,
Mrs. Muir believes that children
now have greater opportunities
now than before.
