Upon graduation she began teaching in rural schools and followed that profession the remainder of her life. In later years she taught in the grade schools in Decatur and Van Wert, Iowa. Early in her youth LETHA accepted the Christian faith and became a member of the Brethren Church at Crown chapel. This began a life of deep and sincere devotion. When the Leon Brethren church was dedicated, her membership was transferred, and LETHA served that church in many official capacities throughout her remaining years. the same interest and love of young children which attracted her to and held her in the teaching profession lead her to serve as superintendent of the primary department for many years. Of quiet, gentle and selfless nature, LETHA gave her entire life to serving others in the home, in the schools and in the church.
