Bio History Note

It is not known who identified Calvin Ulrey as a teacher in this picture. Otho Winger, in his book, "Memories of ...Manchester," writes, "Mr. Ulrey has been in close connection with Manchester College ever since it started.  He was a student here.  His father was a trustee.  Calvin was president of the local bank of rmany years and did much business with the college..." p.g 100.  More research is needed into the educational background of Calvin Ulrey to make a determination.

From the Brethren Encyclopedia: [Ulrey] married Mirian Buck, daughter of Henry and Eliza Buck, in 1900.  He spent his early life on a farm before beginning a successful banking career, retiring in 1935 as president of the Indiana lawrence Bank and Trust Company in N. Manchester...." 

In this photograph Calvin Ulrey [viewer's left] is identified as a teacher in this photograph that was probably taken before 1902, the date Calvin began service in the Indiana State Bank. The archivist suspects that this photograph was not taken at Manchester's "Academy" or teachers training school. In a biography of Ulrey, Otho Winger writes [see Large Box #58] that Calvin "took advantage of the country schools of that day and later prepared in Manchester College and in the Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute, for teaching.  He taught successfully for ten years."
