Callie M. Breyfogle, her brother Fred S., and her mother are living at 539 East Long during some period between 1887 and 1892. The database does not identify the time period beyond this range. This is the same street they lived on between 1887 and 1890. Callie and her mother are listed at a different address in 1890-1891 so the best assumption is that this is their home address during 1891 and 1892. She is listed here as a teacher.

First Dean Dies

Miss Carolyn Breyfogle, 80, Ohio State's first dean of women, succumbed in Columbus, Oct. 14, after a protracted illness.

Miss Breyfogle came to the University in 1912 following agitation on the part of Women's Student Council and women graduates, especially the Alumnae Club of Cleveland, who were interested in improving living conditions of women students at the University.

The late dean served the University for six years. During her administration certain rules for improved housing of women were passed, self-governing powers were given to Women's Student Council, student load funds were initiated, and late in 1917 funds were appropriated for Promerene Hall, women's union.

Her only survivors are nieces and nephews. Interment was made in Columbus.
