Estelle Constant Norred Lewis

Estelle was born today at 8:00 AM, 1919 in the front bedroom of Click for more detail: Rose Dale Farm. Hannah Brissenden was midwife for the birth. It was a bright and sunny day at Rose Dale Farm, both literally and figuratively.

Graduating in 1937, Estelle immediately took the State Teacher's Exam at the courthouse. Her first teaching job was at Hitt School. She would teach children in the morning and travel to Jonesboro to Arkansas State in the afternoon for her BSE. Later, she would teach veterans at night in Piggott.

On May 21, 1981, she was retired after 41 years of teaching. The community presented her with a plaque for her many years of service.

Happy birthday, Estelle !

Happy birthday Estelle, a few days late. How did I find you? I am researching my families history. My name is James Norred and we might be related. I am a descendant of the Norreds who migrated to the hill country of Texas. Burnet and Bertram to be exact. My ggg grandfather was James Oliver Norred, Our branch came over from England via Benjamin Isaac Norred in 1749. I have started a website norreds.com and you can (or whom ever is managing this site) via email link there. I just started it and am beginning to get in touch with relations who have been researching for some time.
