On Jan 17,1920 Chelmsford Massachusetts Census. My GrandMother and her Aunt were both listed as Public School teachers.

They were listed in a household of four people. The (line# 25)head person was Minnie A Day age 55 widow l, (line 26)Dorothy C Worden age 80 widow (Minnie's mother), Pauline W Worden age 21 single Niece, and Arnold W Worden age 12 single Nephew. It showed they lived at 105 Bridge St.

I am trying to find out what school(s) Pauline (my Grandmother) and Minnie taught at.

If you could be of any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

Minnie A. Day is mentioned on page 335 of the book below printed in 1922.

This publication lists Minnie A. Day as a teacher at "Wells school".

This 1919 publication says 

"At the West school the younger scholars are taught by Miss Ruth D, Willard, and the older grades by Miss Pauline W. Worden, as formerly. "

Hello Mr. Mike Wells

Thank you very much..

I have been trying to find this so long.  I did not see the name of the newspaper that the Pauline Worden was in, did you happen to catch it?

Now if I can locate a souvenir school directory that might have photos for them..

I was able to accuire one from 1896 from Somerville. However it only has Minnie A Worden as ata that time Pauline would have been too young.
Pauline Worden was in the paper "Turners Public Spirit"  Ayer, Mass. Saturday September 20, 1919 edition (Price Four Cents)
I'll look. Lots of yearbooks online

Hello

The info you gave regarding Pauline, the geni pictures, LOL those are from my line on Geni. 

I am trying to find a picture from early 1920s when she was teaching. 
I have a sort of yearbook from 1896 Somerville MA that has Minnie A Worden at Forester school. 
How close I wonder are Chelmsford, Littleton, and Somerville?  
I cant find a location for West school, like an address?
Thanks for all of your help.
I literally realized it 1 second after submitting the comment. It went out anyway though.
