A PIONEER TEACHER IS DEAD.
The end came yesterday afternoon to one of the oldest school
teachers in Kansas City in point of service and last of a family
that came here in 1850 when Miss Sallie R. THRELKELD died
suddenly at 720 Highland, where she had been making her
home the last year.
Miss THRELKELD was born in Glasgow, Mo., February 21, 1839.
With her brother, E. R. THRELKELD, pioneer grocer of Kansas
City, and her mother, she came to Kansas City in 1850. She taught
a private school from 1860 until the old Lathrop School was opened
at Eighth and May streets, when she became one of the first teachers
employed by the city. She taught for nine years at the old Lathrop
and nine years at the Humboldt School.
For twelve years prior to 1902 she was principal of the Emerson
School and its first principal. In 1900 she fell on the sidewalk at
Eleventh and Locust streets and broke her hip, while on her way to a
teachers' institute in the old Central High School Building. She taught
school the following two years on crutches.
Throughout her teaching career in Kansas City she had taught more
than two thousand children. Since 1902 Miss THRELKELD had spent
most of her time traveling and visiting relatives in Los Angeles, Cal.
Five nieces and a nephew survive. They are:
Miss Julia K. THRELKELD, Westgate Hotel
Mrs. Turner A. GILL of Los Angeles, Cal.
Mrs. H. C. APPLETON of New York City
Mrs. W. T. DILLON of New York City
Mrs. Katherine ROZIER, 3803 Broadway
James B. THRELKELD of Los Angeles, Cal.
The funeral will be at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Stine & McClure's
Chapel. The funeral service was set this hour, that the teachers may attend
the funeral. Burial will be in the family lot in Union Cemetery. The pall
bearers will be men school teachers.
