Memorable Manitobans: Hazel Frances McFee McCallum (1895-1987)

Educator.

Born at Clear Lake, South Dakota on 22 September 1895, daughter of Donald C. McFee and Catherine Adelia McNaughton (1870-1949), she immigrated to Canada in 1902 and lived in Saskatchewan (1906) before moving to Manitoba with her parents and siblings around 1910, taking up residence at 101 Horace Street in St. Boniface. She taught at Tache School / Queen Elizabeth School (c1913-1960) for 47 years before retiring in June 1960, purportedly a record at the time for contiguous teaching at a single institution. She taught Grades 1 through 6, with class sizes ranging from 26 to 57 students. On 1 September 1962, she married Allan Wilson McCallum (1898-1982) at Winnipeg and retired to Mission, British Columbia where she later died on 12 March 1987.
