| 28 Feb 2023 | Find-A-Grave pages now exist for all members of this
class. And a curious note: This database was created as a contact list for all-school reunions. Because of this, it included 10 people who were 1939 seniors & graduates of Bloomington High School, not University High. I have removed them from the database, and from the list below. Thirty-four people are now listed with this class. |
| 26 Oct 2022 | Mildred "Boots" Inman Davis Schoonover of
Jacksonville, Florida, died July 9, 2014. Josephine Ann "Jo Ann" Thomas Albright Kahle Steinberg Kelly of Mountain View, California, died December 13, 2016. |
| And so, the last members of the Class of '39 have passed. | |
| 05 Mar 2021 | We find that Priscilla Dean Newton Voyles Molling of Worthington, Indiana, died August 10, 1988. |
| 09 Mar 2020 | Mildred Joanette Marshall Chattin died January 21, 2008. An obituary is on her Find-A-Grave page. |
| 19 Apr 2019 | Over the past few months, I have done extensive research, looking for information on former UHS students. Using the obituary database in the Monroe County Library, Find-A-Grave, 1930 & 1940 censuses, the Social Security Deaths Index, the database of marriages in MyHeritage.com, and Ancestry.com, I have updated the data for many people. No new people were added for the Class of '39, as there were no earlier years the school existed. -- Dave Gray '65 |
| 09 Feb 2019 | Scans of the Senior Class and underclass photo pages are now available, from the Jordannus in the Monroe County Library. |
