Davison. Gladys graduated from Mooers High School and earned an AB degree in
teaching from Houghton College and a Library Science degree from Geneseo
Library School. Her first teaching assignment was in a one room schoolhouse
and the students from that time continued to keep in touch with her to the end
of her life. Most of her 17 year teaching career was dedicated to providing
instruction in English and History at Peru, New York Central School. During
that time, she organized the library in the then new school building and
several other school libraries in the North Country. While in Peru she met a

Syracuse University football home games filled every fall and as an avid
downhill skier, she spent each winter until she turned 80, enjoying the ski
slopes of Central New York and New England. She enjoyed gardening and the many
wild animals that visited her backyard. In all these things she was happiest
when sharing the experience with others and drew great strength from every
moment she spent with family and friends. Gladys was a smart and independent
and used her gifts for the good of others. She was known as someone who would
always be first to open her heart to another in need and for this she was
beloved by many friends. She was matriarch to a huge extended family who
