"Miss Miriam L. Bundy -- born in Illinois in about 1902 -- attended Chicago Normal College (now Chicago State University), graduating in about 1924. She taught for many years at Paul Revere Elementary School on Chicago's South Side at 7145 Ellis Avenue, not far from where she lived. Miss Bundy was still teaching at Revere as of 1957."
