Margaret Blessing moved to Rockport Indiana during the 1920’s to teach school. There she met Hugh Greathouse and they were married. They would later move to Port Washington, WI during the great depression, hearing there was work. In Port Washington Margaret taught school for many years and Hugh was a welder.

Hugh graduated from Rockport High School in 1916. He was the artist for the first yearbook ‘Beech Leeves’. Below is his high school picture and a few examples of his art work.
