From an old June 1934 Greenfield, Ohio newspaper clipping.

FORMER RESIDENT DIES IN VIRGINIA;
TAUGHT MANY YRS.
MISS KATE CODDINGTON WAS GRADUATE OF LOCAL SCHOOL.

	Erk Blazer has received word of the death of his cousin, Miss L. Kate 
Coddington, 68, who graduated from the Greenfield schools in 1896 and who will 
be remembered by many of the older residents of the community.  Her death 
occurred in Roanoke, Virginia, May 26, following a week’s illness.
	Miss Coddington was born and reared in Greenfield and was a 
granddaughter of Samuel Mains.  The family left here nearly 50 years ago.
	She had been teaching in the Roanoke schools for the past 20 years and 
was to have begun her period of retirement within two weeks from the time of 
her passing.  Before going to Virginia, she taught in the Berea, Ky., schools.
BEREA COLLEGE PREXY OFFICIATES.
	President Wm. Goodell Frost, of Berea College, officiated at the 
funeral rites in Berea Tuesday, May 29.  The Berea Citizen carried a 
biographical sketch of Miss Coddington written by Dr. Frost.  He said in part:
	“Kate Coddington taught in our Public School and Berea College secured 
her for its Foundation School for nine good and growing years.  She had the 
inner call to teach – sympathy for the learner, and a sense of the use and 
value of the things which were being learned.  Her pupils became perpetual 
investigators.  Hundreds of men and women whose homes are scattered from Maine 
to California will learn that we are doing here today and will say, ‘Miss 
Coddington made me love to read and study’.”
	Miss Coddington is survived by her brother, H. W. Coddington, Roanoke, 
and by her mother, who is 96 years of age.
