Josie Pye

 Josie Pye was member of large Pye family, sister of Gertie and classmate of Anne Shirley, Gilbert Blythe and Diana Barry.

Early life
Josie was born in Avonlea sometime in 1865 to Mr. and Mrs. Pye. In September 1871 she attended Avonlea school along with Diana, Ruby and Jane.

Studies at Queen's Academy
Josie joined a special class for future Queen's Academy students along with Anne, Gilbert, Jane, Ruby, Moody and Charlie. They passed the examination and all attened school in September 1880. Josie studied there for two years. In September 1882 she started teach.

Later life
When Anne, Gilbert and Charlie decided to study at Redmond College, A.V.I.S. gave a farewell party in honor of Anne and Gilbert one August evening at the home of Josie.

They chose that place, partly because Mr. Pye's house was large and convenient, partly because it was strongly suspected that Josie and Gertie would have nothing to do with the affair if their offer of the house for the party was not accepted.

Marriage
When she was 23, she married unknown young man. The wedding took place in Avonlea sometimes during 1888.
