She was born right in town and not at a local hospital. In 1930 she attended Hampton Academy and High School, in 1932 Charlotte graduated from Keene Normal School. It was there she acquired the nickname "SHY" which she chose to use on her car license plate. For over forty years Ms. Dow was best known as teacher. She lovingly taught several generations of families teaching at South School, Boyd School, Sanborn School and Seabrook Elementary School. She was very supportive of community projects and proud of The Town of Seabrook. In 1962 Ms. Dow researched, wrote and had published a history booklet titled "A UNIT ON THE TOWN OF SEABROOK NEW HAMPSHIRE", She wanted the children of Seabrook to have a better insight into the history of their town. She was an active member, holding many different offices of the Historical Society of Seabrook, American Legion Auxiliary, Grange, Friends of the Library, Rand Memorial Church, Seabrook P.T.A., Exeter Hospital Corporation, Hampton Alumni Association, Hampton Historic Society, Seabrook School Board Member, Bicentennial Commission, Y.W.C.A. Newburyport, Newburyport Horticultural Society, and Seabrook Recreation Commission. Her hobbies were writing poetry. Many of her poems were published in local papers, most were given personally to friends. She would read books to help her unwind and also very much enjoyed traveling. After her retirement from teaching in 1975, oil painting became another hobby and there is at least one of her paintings hanging in every town building. She signed most of her paintings "Shy". In 1993 at age 80, the Seabrook Police Association dedicated their "10th Anniversary Book" to her for being a good friend and supporter for many years. Through the years Charlotte continued being the giving spirit she was. Ms. Dow was a true "Seabrooker", she very much enjoyed being part of and giving much to the town. Charlotte will be remembered as an icon of our town history and a very good friend to many, she will be sadly missed.
