Miss Carrie A. Dutzschky, a native of St. Joseph, and the youngest
of a family of four children, is a daughter of the late Charles E.
Dutzschky, Esq., who died April 9, 1854, while Postmaster of St.
Joseph, of which city he had been for many years a representative
citizen.  He had, previous to his appointment as postmaster, held
various positions of honor and trust under the national and state
government, and served in the commissary department of the army
during the entire period of the Mexican War.  He was a native of
Dresden, and son of an officer who served with distinction in the
armies of the first Napoleon.  He was an active and prominent 
member of the Masonic order, and at the period of his death, an 
officer of St. Joseph Lodge, A.F. & A.M.  He was also a member of 
the Baptist Church.  He married his wife, then Miss Eliza Greason,
in Michigan.  In 1850, they moved to St. Joseph, where the subject 
of this sketch was afterwards born, as above stated.  Miss Carrie
was graduated in the class of 1871, in the St. Joseph High School.
She early determined to embrace the profession of teaching.  Some
time after her first experience in Iowa as a teacher, she accepted
in 1874, the appointment as principal of the Avenue Primary School,
the duties of which position she has ever since continued to dis-
charge acceptably.  She has long been a member of the Baptist
Church, in St. Joseph, the religion of both her parents.
