The "woman the shoe who had so many children she didn't know what to do" is not to be compared to Mrs. Addie Geddes, 73, who taught school in northwest Iowa and Wisconsin 40 years and in that time had so many pupils that their numbers run into the thousands. She often had 50 pupils, even when teaching in country schools. Mrs. Geddes began teaching when she lacked three months of being 15 years old.

She dared not stop, for there were no homes along the way and she feared the wolves which prowled by night. Another harrowing experience when she was still almost a baby is told by one of her former pupils. Her older sisters started out "berrying" and when they found that little Addie was tagging along, they started her back toward the house. When they reached home that night they found that she had net been seen since they left her, so neighbors of the frantic family searched all night with lanterns for the lost child They found her the next morning curled up under a bush, 'and she told them that she had seen "lights in sugar bowls'1 all night, proving that she had seen the searchers with lanterns, but had not cried out.
