Grace Hyatt Former L.H.S. Teacher Dies
Mrs. Grace Guy Hyatt, 71 retired Lincoln high school teacher of many years service, died at her home, 2135 South street.
Death was said to have resulted from a stroke. It was believed she died sometime Friday night.
Mrs. Hyatt, who retired from teaching in 1945 because of ill heath, was head of the social studies department at Lincoln high. She had taught there continuously since 1914.
M.C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, said Mrs. Hyatt was one of Lincoln high's long-time faithful teachers.
"Mrs. Hyatt did much for the development of the social studies department," Mr. Lefler said, "and for the development of the school in general. She was well-liked by her students and devoted to her work. She was a woman of great enthusiasm and possessed of more than ordinary sense of humor.
Mrs Hyatt was active in educational work even after her retirement. She was at one time president of District 1, Nebraska State Teachers' association, and president of Nebraska Women's Educational Club. She was a member of the Unitarian church.
A native of Davenport, Ia., Mrs. Hyatt came to Lincoln from there 50 years ago. Her husband who preceded her in death, was J. S. Hyatt.
Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. W. S. Burrows, Albion, Neb., and two sons, Guy, Schenectady, N.Y. and George, Detroit, Mich. Source: The Lincoln Star (Lincoln, Nebraska), Sunday, 20 April 1947, page 1.
"Grace Hyatt - In the death of Grace Hyatt the Lincoln schools and the city lost one who was truly devoted to the cause of education in all its aspects. After 31 years at Lincoln high school, Mrs. Hyatt gave up her post reluctantly, because of failing health. In that time she had developed the social studies and for years was the head of that department at the school. Devoted to her students as well as to her teaching, she was popular with them, her superintendent testifies, particularly for her exceptional sense of humor and her great enthusiasm. This enthusiasm persisted after Mrs. Hyatt was obliged to give up teaching, and she continued in educational work so far as she was able. She had served District 1, Nebraska State Teachers' association, and the Nebraska Women's Educational Club, as president. For many years she had been an active member of All Souls Unitarian church. Hers was a personality of a sort to be long remembered by her colleagues and students." Source: The Lincoln Evening Journal (Lincoln, Nebraska), Monday, 21 April 1947, page 6.
