-Mrs. Mabel Gosbee taught at the school at Moosehide for three years until it closed down for good in 1957. Rev. Allan Haldenby described her as an elderly woman who had been in service with the Hudson's Bay Company. She volunteered as a Welfare Teacher. The buildings were dilapidated and had not been occupied for a year. The government was closing down the one-room schools and encouraging First Nation families to move into the towns and communities.((Helene Dobrowolsky, //Hammerstone: A History of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.//Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, 2003: 55.))+Mrs. Mabel Gosbee taught at the school at Moosehide for three years until it closed down for good in 1957.
