Several years later, the establishment became known as Danford, McIntire and Nixon Funeral Home . then as McIntire and Nixon.
In 1927, McIntire became the sole owner and in the early 1930s he opened a funeral home at the current Larwill Street location after purchasing the property from John Jameson, M.D. The funeral director converted the former residence into a modern funeral home and he and his wife lived in a private 10-room suite on the second floor. ....

Wooster's first Black teacher fought for right to teach in hometown


WOOSTER  Virginia Blackwell wanted to be a teacher and she wanted to be a teacher in her hometown.
The opportunity finally arrived in 1963, almost 20 years after Blackwell earned her degree from West Virginia State College, an all-Black school at that time. Wooster City Schools hired her as a special education teacher, making her the first Black teacher in the district’s history.
“She was just glad she got to teach… She didn’t look at it as a fight but her right,” said Carolyn Huff of her mother, who died on March 3. She was 98.
