What the source supports

That Cassie Pidgeon, a teacher in the Berryville school, appeared in the Clarke Courier in 1923 and 1924.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The 1923 list calls itself partially complete and gives no grades. Reading the teacher of both lists as one woman rests on the matching name.
