Antioch News - Jan. 8, 1914
Miss Lula Thain one of the oldest teachers in point of service in the Waukegan 
city schools, died at the home of her sister Mrs. Geo. Hardie, Clayton street, 
Waukegan New Year's day, following an illness which dated from last Easter. She 
had been confined to her bed but a few days, remaining there since Christmas.

No teacher was better know in Lake county than Miss Thain, who retired from a 
position as assistant principal of the North school a year ago, having 
continuously taught school in Waukegan in various grades since 1884. Previous to 
teaching in Waukegan, she taught a few years in the county schools. 

Miss Thain was 54 years old and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Thain, 
pioneers of Millburn and were among the best known families, thereabouts. Her 
birth occurred at Millburn where she spent her childhood.

As a teacher, Miss Thain proved to be one of the most efficient that city ever 
had. From a standpoint of popularity, no teacher could look back over the years 
that she had been loved any more than she. No pupil who ever went to her for 
assistance was denied it. She proved to be an ideal teacher. 

Miss Thain had lived with her sister, Mrs. Hardie, during her residence in 
Waukegan and both were devoted to each other. Besides Mrs. Hardie she is 
survived by: Mrs. Leonard, Kansas City; Mrs. J. T. Stewart, St. Paul; Mrs. Peter 
Fisher, Kenosha; Mrs. S. Levoy, and John A. Thain both of Millburn. Funeral 
Saturday at 1 o'clock at the Hardie home. Rev. Chidester officiating, burial 
private at the family lot at Millburn cemetery.
