Miss Marion Huff, Former Teacher in Maryville, Is Dead
Miss Marion Huff, at one time a teacher in the rural schools of Nodaway County, died this morning at 6:30 o'clock in Chicago. She was eighty-one years old last October. Miss Huff is survived by three sisters: Mrs. J. F. Haller of Wilcox, Mrs. Cora Logan of Quitman, and Mrs. O. H. Dike of Chicago. A nephew, Guy Haller, lives here.

Miss Huff was born in Indiana. She came to Nodaway County first as the guest of her uncle, Thomas Huff, who lived west of Quitman for many years. She taught in the district schools there and in other rural schools in the county. For a time she was postmistress of Burlington Junction. She won the appointment over eleven men. She taught for a time in the Maryville high school. In 1893 Miss Huff went to Silver City, N. M. where she taught in the mountain schools. In 1900 she went to Porto Rico as head of the English department of the public schools at San Juan. She returned to Chicago because the weather of Porto Rico was unfavorable to her frail health. In 1901 she took a special course at the University of Chicago. She went to the Philippines in 1902 where she taught for seventeen years. Miss Huff returned to Chicago in 1918 where she became general saleswoman for the publishers of a home reference work in Chicago. She has lived in Chicago since that time.

Miss Huff's remains will be cremated.
