The Central State Normal School, a private corporation until it was legally conveyed to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1914, was founded in 1870 and chartered to prepare teachers for the public schools.

Subsequently, changes in its mission led to changes in name, to State Teachers College at Lock Haven (1926), to Lock Haven State College (1960), to Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania (1983). The last name change occurred when the State System of Higher Education was created and Lock Haven University joined the 13 other universities within the State System.
Here below is a set of beautiful photos from mj aux that shows studio portraits of young ladies of Central State Normal School, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania (Class of 1889).

The lady third from the bottom, with the stud earring, is in our family album, an album that has been handed down through the years from our Pennsylvania ancestors. The picture I have of her is one taken in Chicago so I've thought she was someone the family knew there. Seeing this post is like a little gift; now I have more information to help find her name. Thank you!
