I didn't know who the teacher was for a long time. Then I received some old photos of my grand aunt Sicily. I had never seen photos of her when she was young before. But then I realized she is the teacher in this photo. She was indeed a teacher as were two of her sisters. In the 1880 census, Sicily's parents and their family, including Sicily, were living next door to Hardy Burleson Isaacks and family. .
