 | | In the Summer of 1854 she engaged as a teacher in a private seminary for young ladies, in the city of St. Louis, MO, making her home with her brother, Charles, who, at the time, was a resident of that city, & district secretary for the American Tract Society. |
 | | The corporators of the Western Female Seminary, which had been located at Oxford about this time, had their seminary buildings nearly completed, & the trustees were on the outlook for just the right person in whose hands they might, with confidence, place the affairs of the new educational venture, as its head & principal. |
 | | Probably two of the most trying experiences in her life were the repeated destruction of the seminary buildings by fire, first on the 14th of Jan, 1860, & again on the 6th of Apr, 1871. |
