Summary

Margaret A. (Riorden) Hanley (1905–1999) was named in a May 1960 report about a broken left leg and a possible return to teaching.

Evidence and limits

Local reports consistently identify her as Mrs. J. C. Hanley and mother of Jerry and Terry; the cemetery register gives her maiden name and lifespan. The notices do not establish her school, treatment, or recovery.

Open questions

  • Which school and medical records document her recovery?
