The Music Teacher is Ida Kaufmann (Mrs. Conrad Hitzeroth) who taught music from 1911-1915 when she travelled to each student's home by horse and buggy (or cutter in winter) and also gave lessons to those who were able to come to the Kaufman home on the 15th line (where Darryl Bender now lives.)
She recalled leaving from the Dover Station (at the Cheese Factory) on Friday evenings to teach in student's homes in Stratford. She would teach Friday and Saturday then return home Saturday at 5:00 p.m. to the Tavistock Station.
