Gillette, Noted Educator, Dies Sunday, Nov. 27 Mrs. Elizabeth H. Gillette passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles T. Moon, 838 Lincoln avenue, Sunday, November 27, follow- ing a brief illness. Mrs. Gillette had not been in her usual health for some weeks, but was severely ill only since the preceding Wednesday. Mrs. Gillette was born in Buffalo, N. Y. eighty-one years ago. She early took up teaching when it was a much less common profession for women than it 1s now and later, after the death of her husband which left her with four small children, she es- tablished a highly successful private school and became one of the city's leading educators. At the same time she carried on many church and civic activities. Few people have put their mark on so many growing lives and few have made their influence so powerful for good. Since the coming of Mr. and Mrs. Moon to Winnetka, Mrs. Gillette has made her home with them and, al- though she has lived very quietly here, her fine mind, original wit and out- reaching friendliness have made her a large circle of devoted friends. She was a member of the Winnetka Congregational church. Funeral ser- vices were held Tuesday afternoon in Buffalo where burial took place. Rev. James A. Richards conducted the ser- vices. Martha Blair Fox Opens Dance Studio in Winnetka Martha Blair Fox opened her studio of interpretative dancing with a pro- gram and tea December 1, at the Winnetka Masonic temple.
