• Notes

  She was widowed. Younger pupils of the Beckley Institute school probably recall other teachers as favorites. Miss Winnie Cook (Mrs. J. O. Freeman) was one of the local teachers who taught in the school. Her pupils had the fine privilege of having her as their first grade teacher, the best-loved of all. Miss Hallie Harper, whose sister, Mrs. H. E. Phipps (Lessie Harper) became the first woman to be elected to the Board of Education in Town District, was another Beckley teacher who served well in Beckley Institute.
