Hortense Bivins' History: 1913 - 2002

Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Hortense Bivins was my Spanish teacher for two years and my senior English teacher during my last year in high school in the spring of 1954. She became my favorite teacher and my mentor. She was a beautiful lady, always dressed modesly but very stylish. She cared for her students and loved to see them succeed. I still think of her often and how much she meant to me. Were it not for her mentoring, I would not be the person I am today. She was indeed a person worth knowing.

Did you know?
In 1913, in the year that Hortense Bivins was born, Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. It had previously taken 12 hours to assemble a whole vehicle - now it took only two hours and 30 minutes! Inspired by the production lines at flour mills, breweries, canneries and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago’s meat-packing plants, Ford created moving belts for parts and the assembly line was born.
Did you know?
In 1930, Hortense was 17 years old when on August 6th, N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater went through papers in his office, destroyed some of them, withdrew all his money from the bank - $5,150, sold his stock, met friends at a restaurant for dinner and disappeared after getting into a taxi (or walking down the street - his friends' testimony later changed). His disappearance was reported to the police on September 3rd - almost a month later. His wife didn't know what happened, his fellow Justices had no idea, and his mistresses (he had several) said that they didn't know. While his disappearance was front page news, his fate was never discovered and after 40 years the case was closed, still without knowing if Crater was dead or alive.
