Hopedale Town History

Teachers and Students of the Hopedale Home School

The table below lists the students and teachers of the Hopedale Home School. This data is taken from Home School Memorial: A Reunion of Teachers and Pupils of the Hopedale Home School, August 1, 1867 (Cambridge, MA, 1867). It is reprinted in Hopedale Reminiscences: Childhood Memories of the Hopedale Community and the Hopedale Home School, 1841-1863 (Blackstone Editions, 2006).

An asterisk next to a name indicates that the person was present at the Reunion; a X indicates that the person was deceased by 1867. Names assumed by marriage after leaving the School are in parentheses.
