  • 18 Jul 2009 email from Alicia Livengood
    "Educated at Lebanon Normal and was off teaching by age 20 (born 1859 in Ashland, KY). Moved to the Montana Territory in 1887 where he was a teacher, school administrator, and lawyer by profession. He represented District 11 (Jefferson County, MT) in 1889 at the Montana Constitutional Convention in Helena. Had two substantial motions during the proceedings, but is unofficially credited with having written a significant portion of the document. Clearly a member of Free Masonry. Married with two children, one girl and one boy.
    "Had two published biographies. One from the late nineteenth century, and another in the early twentieth century. The group of men who represented the Montana Territory at the 1889 Constitutional Convention were prominently featured in a completely irresponsible 1989 publication where the group was referred to as the "Floundering Fathers." The author of the chapter recounting the proceedings of the convention admitted that there is no evidence linking Robert E. Hammond to any of the bigoted remarks made by others in attendance at the convention, where such behavior served as inspiration for the book chapter.
    "Died 1931 in Washington state."

    " My relative Thomas Corwin Mendenhall (from Hanoverton, Ohio) says in his autobiographical notes that he graduated with the 1860 or 61 class. He also mentions another student, Miss Anna Frye, which I think was his girlfriend. She graduated the same year as him I believe.
    He also mentions a favorite teacher of his, Mr W.D. Henkle and says he taught there from when it opened in 1855ish to around 1863. Henkle taught Mathematics courses at NNU— from Mendenhall’s notes it looks like he published a popular college textbook called "Henkle’s University Algebra” which was used around the country at that time. After resigning from NNU, Henkle went on to become the Ohio state school commissioner and write/publish the ‘Ohio Educational Monthly’ for about 15-20 years."

    "Josiah Holbrook was born January 28, 1844, at Berea, Ohio. He was the oldest of six children born to Alfred and Melissa Holbrook. His father with his family moved to Lebanon in 1855, and the greater part of his subsequent life was spent in this town as teacher and business manager in his father’s school. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in Co. F., 12th Reg., O. V. I., serving for more than three years with the Union forces during the Civil War. He participated in the battles of Scarey Creek, Carnifax Ferry, Bull Run Bridge, Frederick, South Mountain, Antietam, Fayette C. H., Lewisburg, Cloyd Mountain, Lexington and Lynchburg. He always had a great affection and respect for his soldier comrades.
    "After returning from the war he attended his father’s school and then went to Montgomery, Alabama, where as Superintendent, he reorganized the public school system. He remained in Montgomery for three years.
    "His wife and daughter and one sister, Anne Lucy, survive him. In 1893 he moved to Knoxville, Tenn., where he built and founded Holbrook Normal College. This building was afterwards destroyed by fire."

He went on to become the Head of the Mathematics Department at Colby College in Maine. He died in Macon, GA. I found census information that showed he was a teacher there as well but I haven’t yet determined where. I cannot prove it yet, but he may be related to Holder family that I am descended from. I am continuing to search for information on this gentleman. I will be happy to share any info I find."

    Mabel Todd was born 27 June 1872 in Hogan Township, Dearborn County, Indiana the eldest of the ten children of John Alexander and Ellen Welhoff Todd. Mabel and two of her sisters and a brother became teachers. She attended nearby Moores Hill College and National Normal University in Lebanon, Ohio and taught school from 1892 to 1897 in Wilmington, Dillsboro and Greendale, all in Dearborn County. She attended NNU for sure in 1894, probably in 1892, and possibly at other times about then. Greendale was a two-teacher school where she taught the younger children and the other teacher (and principal), Frank Lee Houston taught the older children. She stopped teaching in 1897 when she married Frank. In 1900 they moved to a farm near Chesterville, Indiana where they lived the rest of their lives. Frank died in 1954 at age 85 and Mabel died at age 97 in 1970. Two of their three sons would also become teachers, my father, Harold Todd Houston, a professor of Engineering at Evansville University and Herschel W. Houston, a teacher and high school principal in Richmond, Indiana.

  • from Kathryn Porter of Victoria, BC Canada on 22 Oct 2006,
    "My grandmother attended the National Normal University, probably from 1885-1889. I suggest those years because she was teaching her younger sister in first grade in 1890. Her name was Marguerite Susan Hughes and she came from Bradford. Ohio..Whether she was known as Marguerite or Susan, I am not certain. She later married Rev. Charles R. Harmon, a minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Bradford.
    In later years she lived in Xenia with her daughter and family, and I recall that she visited a former classmate in Lebanon, a Mrs. Eaton who had a son confined to an iron lung because of infantile paralysis. This must have been in the late thirties or early forties."
