Isobel Cheney

Isobel Cheney, who taught for over 40 years in Somerville schools and was a walking encyclopedia on the history of the city, died March 28, 2007 at the age of 99.
As reported in the Boston Globe, Ms. Cheney taught history and civics from 1929 well into the 1970s, including a stint in Germany through a teacher exchange program. After her retirement, she participated in historical reenactments and spent time on numerous other hobbies including traditional Hawaiian dancing and collecting antique aprons. Ms. Cheney completed Masters and Doctoral degrees in history through Calvin Coolidge College, writing her theses on the history of Somerville. The Somerville Journal posted two written tributes to Isobel Cheney by her former students in its blog.
