LITTLE GIRL WRITES ON
“FAMOUS WOMEN OF fit"
Splendid Paper Read By Miss
Katherine Shaver Before
Seventh Grade.
Among the famous Georgia
women, Nancy Hart is the first
that rises in my memory. She
lived in the time of the Revo
lutionary War and her name and
acts will be remembered by all
readers of history. Her bravery
in holding a number of British
soldiers, Tories, with a gun point
ed at them, makes a very inter-
esting and laughable page in his
tory. She is said to have been
tall, red headed and crosseyed.
Mary Musgrove is another who
figured in the early history of
Georgia. She was an Indian girl
who was interpreter to General
Oglethorpe.
Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, a
famous writer whose books have
charmed thousands of people,
was born in Columbus Georgia,
but afterwards moved to Mobile,
Ala., where she wrote many
popular novels. Among those
she wrote: St. Elmo, Inez, Beu
lah, Vashti, and Speckled Bird.
Madam Le Vert, whose “Sou
venirs of Travel” made her fam
ous, was born in Augusta, Geor
gia, but later lived in Florida.
She was a most gifted woman,
gracious in manner, a delightful
conversationalist speaking Eng
lish, French and Spanish lluent
ly. She traveled in Europe ex
tensively, and possessed the artcf
telling her travels in a charming
way.
Coming to the later day women,
we have our own Mrs. W. H. Fel
ton, of Cartersville, who is
abreast with the most learned
women of the country, She not
only writes of domestic affairs
and on general topics, but is a
fine politician.
Two women who have attracted
a large share of attention, are
the two first graduates of Wesley
an Female College in Macon.
Mrs. Benson, who has been a visi
tor to our city, and the mother of
Rev. W. R. Branham, and who
was a Miss Flournoy.
The literary works of Miss
Ruthford of Athens, have placed
her among the noted women of
Georgia. In mentioning Athens
calls to mind, Martha, the
daughter of Gov. Lumpkin, for
whom Atlanta, then Marthars
ville, was named.
There are numbers of women
who have been prominently be
fore the public who can’t be
mentioned in this short article.
Who knows but here in the
seventh grade room I am face to
face with some of Georgia’s fu
ture famous women?
