- Ina Dyer
- An Ohio native who came to Mesa, Colorado in 1910. Because she came just before the end of her senior year, she finished high school by correspondence. A few years later, she attended teaching certificate courses at the Hoel-Ross Business College in Grand Junction. She was hired to teach in Mesa School District #9 for $45 a month. After some time in Mesa, she taught for two years in Collbran, and then in the Fruitvale School. She attended Western State Colorado University for a short time, and then went to Kansas State University, where her brother was dean of students. She and her sister graduated with Bachelor’s degrees in 4 years. After college, she and her sister taught in Delta, Colorado for four years. She moved to Grand Junction in 1925. She taught for many years at Grand Junction High School. Ina volunteered as a Grey Lady with the American Red Cross at St. Mary’s Hospital. She also worked at Mesa County Libraries. She never married. *Photograph from 1943 Grand Junction High School yearbook.
