Family name - Pitts & Strong
Nellie Strong Pitts
Nellie was the daughter of Herbert Strong and Laura Cole Strong & she married Preston Dumont Pitts. She taught school in Friendship, NY, District 4, in 1903. She was my husband's grandmother. We have found information where she went to college and have pictures of her graduating class, plus her grades while she was in college. We would like to know more about the location of her school. We also have a booklet with her picture on the cover, a list of her students and the board of directors for the school. We are still searching for more connections with the brother to Nellie Strong Pitts, Edgar Strong, as we have more pictures of him in his uniform as a Canadian Mountie.
