High School Graduation of Etha Wright

According to Etha (Wright) Binder's obituary, she graduated from Dayton, WA High School. This would have been sometime between 1912 and 1915?
How can I find proof of her graduation from this school?The obituary also states she taught school in Oregon and Washington for 10 years.

In 1930, she is listed as living with her divorced father at Walla Walla, WA, and listed her occupation as "public school teacher".

Are there any school photos of her, either as a graduating senior, or as a school teacher in year books?

Thanks in advance for any information on this lady.

Hi DHinkey, I suggest you contact the Lower Columbia Genealogical Society, www.rootsweb.com/~walcolgs/. Their web site tells how to submit a query.

Also the WA State Archives has microfilm on school records but someone has to go to the Archives in person & look through the microfilm. Maybe the Gen. Soc. does this? I don't know. Successful Hunting

Shotgun,

Once again you have responded to an old posting that was answered numerous times. As before, I would suggest you look at previous postings by the person to identify what answers they may have received. I'd also again suggest that you work on current questions.

Here are the results on THIS project. As you will note, you even had posted on one:

Hi Judy,
Thank you for the advice. However, as the saying goes, "been there, done that".
Most libraries have information on microfilm, and one is required to go there to read it. I do not live there, and visiting all these libraries in all these different places is impossible.
I try to find these sites and check them out before I post messages. Sometimes I receive a site I don't know about, which is wonderful, and I waste no time looking it up.
I also contact school libraries for information. This has worked very well in some cases. On this particular matter, it hasn't.
I appreciate your time.
