 n 1872, Hannah Spaulding of New England rushed to the booming town of Gold Hill along with the miners and their families, figuring that a town with children would need a schoolteacher. Within the year, Hannah was teaching 31 pupils in a hastily constructed log building. She married miner James Guise four years later and spent the rest of her life in Gold Hill. In December 1928, the Daily Camera announced the double funeral of James and Hannah Guise. Both were so ill with influenza and pneumonia that they were unaware of each other's condition. They died within two days of each other. |
