| Description | Photograph shows teacher Anna M. Stanton (1832-1915). Stanton was born in Milton, Indiana to Quaker parents Peter and Cecelia Stanton. She spent the early years of her life teaching throughout Indiana, until March 1870, when she journeyed to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to a freedman's school founded by Civil War nurse, Cornelia Hancock. There she taught industrial training--sewing, knitting and basket making until the late 1890s before returning to her home state of Indiana. By 1897, an invitation from her friend Emily Howland, sent her to Heathsville, Virginia to teach industrial arts at the Howland School, where she stayed until 1907. Stanton wrote a memoir about her teaching experiences entitled "My autobiography," published in 1908. |
