Cecil Donald Kiser & Laura Ann Rider, 1928-1952 (The School Years in Uniontown) Betty, Nancy, Don, Norma
About this Folder:
This folder documents the school years for Betty, Nancy, Don, and Norma. I do not have as many details for these four as I do for Kate; consequently, the next folder will be for Kate only. I will focus on school events/photos, while deferring other aspects of family life to “The Family Years in Uniontown” folder.
All of them attended the same small schools: Uniontown Grade School and Uniontown High School. Betty, Kate, and Norma graduated from UHS; Nancy and Don attended through 10th grade. Betty was the only one to attend college.
Some of the photos (including in Kate’s folder) were taken in West Virginia. According to Kate, they always visited their grandparents in Bentree every year.

Betty Lou Kiser, 1928-1941
Betty Lou Kiser, 1940
Betty Lou Kiser was born on August 3, 1922, in Kanawha City, WV. By the time she was six, the family had permanently moved to Uniontown, OH, area. Betty was a typical first-born: serious, studious, bossy, and perfectionistic. I was told that she was a good student and leader, and she excelled at anything she pursued.
After graduation from UHS in 1940, Betty attended nearby Kent State University (for one year). I do not know what she studied. To hear Betty recount this information, click on the audio button in this section.
For more information about Betty’s life after college, consult the Betty Kiser & Wendell Watson folder.
