My great-grandmother, Lillian Ora Wall Johnson passed away after giving birth to her second set of twins in 1908. This 121 year old piece of paper was her diploma. What makes this even more special is that her father's name, Erastus J. Wall, is also on it because he was on the district board.
Is this kind of like a GED since it's issued by the state?
ReplyDeleteIf so, the academic requirements seem much higher than today's...
I'm really not sure if it could be compared to a GED. It does appear that the state printed and distributed the certificates, but the individual municipality filled in the blanks.
