Lillian F. Wakefield (1882-1967) was an elementary teacher in New York and New Jersey during the early 20th century. Educated at the Albany Normal School, she began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in Paris Station, New York. In 1911 she began teaching third grade at the Princeton Elementary School in Princeton, New Jersey; she retired in 1947 after more than thirty-five years in the classroom.
