According to my interview with Naomi (GERWIN) FAUSEY, Fall 1993, and a conversation with Loise OBERHOMMERT (1998):
Katie SLOYER served as a substitute teacher in one room schoolhouses at some time before her marriage. The law was if the eighth grade was completed and a state test was passed, a person was qualified to be a substitute teacher.According to her Death Certificate Catherine GERWIN died from a cerebral hemorrhage with a contributing factor of arteriosclerosis.

The funeral of Mrs. Charles W. Gerwin (Catherine Sloyer), 73, of R-1, Gibsonburg, a native of Bradner, will be Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the Veh & Son Funeral Home, Gibsonburg.
Mrs. Gerwin died Wednesday afternoon in Memorial Hospital, Fremont. She was admitted Tuesday and had been ill for two weeks. Mrs. Gerwin was born Aug. 31, 1885 to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sloyer (Catherine) Sloyer, and was married to Mr. Gerwin in Bowling Green on Sept. 28, 1904, and he survives.
The Rev. Richard Bauerle, of the Zion Lutheran Church, Gibsonburg, will officiate at the funeral, with burial in West Union Cemetery.

One son died earlier.*** NOTE: There are two comments about this obituary. One, while my grandmother used the name Catherine, she has been otherwise documented as Katie. Her daughter, Naomi Gerwin Fausey told me in 1993, that she didn't like having a formal name so she insisted on using Catherine in her obituary and her gravestone. Two, the obituary contains a mistake concerning her mother's name. Her mother was Lenora Sloyer, Catherine was her paternal grandmother's name.
Obituary from the FREMONT NEWS-MESSENGER, Ohio Oct 30, 1958 (copy provided by Lucile (BALSIZER) GERWIN):

NOTES FOR CHARLES W. GERWIN from interview with Naomi (GERWIN) FAUSEY, Fall 1993:
Charles bought the farm on Napoleon road, Madison Twp., Sandusky Co., OH, from his father about the time of his marriage in 1904
Charles lived on this farm until his death. He said his father would buy a place, fix it up, and sell it time after time. Charles said he would buy a place and stay put.
Charles and his father, Herman Sr., had a falling out when Charles bought his first Ford car. Charles still owed his father money for the farm, and Herman demanded Charles pay up. Charles was forced to borrow the money owed to his father. They did not speak again, and it is said Herman Sr. left Charles one dollar in his will.
Carl H. GERWIN bought the farm from his father's estate.
Mark BURMEISTER, Carl's grandson, later bought the farm. Mark and Donna torn down the old house, built a new home, and presently reside with there family at that location. This means the land has been owned by a GERWIN descendant for over a hundred years.

According to his Death Certificate Charles GERWIN died from congestive heart failure with a contributing factor of arteriosclerotic heart disease.
