'Teacher Drops Dead' - Miss Pearl Casteel of Ohio

  
Although not related to our Casteel line, this newspaper article definitely caught my eye:

The Van Wert Daily Bulletin (Ohio)
6 December 1912

    Such a sad story--for the teacher, her family, and her students.

    I never fail to be shocked by how blunt some of those old newspaper stories could be - it would be funny if it wasn't so sad!

    I have to admit I thought it was kind of funny - who'd of thought math would be so dangerous.
