Our dear classmate Margaret Rohr, who was in our class from first through third grades at Pleasant View and Mapleshade Schools, passed away on Aug. 24, 1967.
Here are excerpts from her obituary, which appeared in the Springfield Union newspaper:
Miss Margaret A. Rohr, 14, daughter of Dr. Walter T. Rohr of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mrs. Helen (Bennett) Rohr of 153 Dartmouth Terrace, Springfield, died Thursday, Aug. 24, 1967 in Springfield Hospital.

Born in this city, she was a communicant of St. Michael's Cathedral and a student at Ursuline Academy.
Besides her parents, she leaves her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Margaret (Donoghue) Bennett, and an aunt, Mrs. Erna (Bennett) Webb, both of this city.
