Book Excerpt* 
Mary Elizabeth Graham graduated from Woonsocket High School [Woonsocket, RI] in 1919. She was a classmate of David L. Tuttle, brother of Edwin F. Tuttle. Both Mary and Margaret became teachers and taught in East Blackstone & Millerville schools in and around Blackstone, Massachusetts, United States during the period 1921- June 1929. Mary had gotten married in April 1929, and moved to New Jersey that summer, since Ted, her husband, had taken a job with the Starret Brothers for work on the Empire State Building. Mary, later [about 1952-1958], taught school at St. Nicholas School, Passaic, NJ, a Parochial School, since she did not have a NJ Teaching Certificate to teach in the public school system. She took a teaching course at the University of Rhode Island in July-August 1957 and received an "A" grade. In the early 1960's she taught third grade at Corpus Christi School in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. She retired in the late 60's. She sold her house in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ in1971 for $25,000. The house was sold to Alex and Phylis Irwin Fass. She and her sisters were all good piano players, Mary playing 'by ear'. She tried to pass this on to her children with poor results. Mary attempted to contact her father's family in Ireland. She corresponded with a Rose Grehan, Main St., Granard, County Longford, IRELAND.3
