Funeral services for Miss Emma Louise Nagel, Bellevue public school teacher for 53 years, will be Tuesday at 2 pm at the Dobbling funeral home, Fairfield and Taylor avenues. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Miss Nagel, 76, died Saturday night at Speers Hospital, Dayton. Bellevue schools will be dismissed Tuesday afternoon. She began her teaching career in Bellevue in 1882 in a one room school house at Lafayette avenue and center street, site of the present high school building where she taught up to the time of her death. Many of the teachers now in the Bellevue school system received their grammar and high school training from Miss Nagel. She taught three generations of Bellevue residents.
Before the college requirements were set for teachers, Miss Nagel instructed new teachers coming into the Bellevue schools. She taught mostly English during her long career as a teacher and taught in every grade. She was born and reared in Bellevue.
Her home was on O'Fallon avenue but she had been living during the past six months with Mrs. Irma Schlect, a niece at 115 Retreat street, Bellevue. Besides Miss Schlect, Miss Nagel leaves another niece, Mrs. Afreda Brown and a nephew, Charles Nagel.
