52 Ancestsors Week 35: School Days~A Mother, Sisters and Friends




  School Days is the topic of week 35 for Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2015 Edition.

   One of the first pictures found when beginning my family history journey was of my maternal Great Grandmother, Loretta "Etta"(McManus) Daughrity.  It looks as though she may be at a table with a book.  Perhaps a school picture?

Loretta "Etta" (McManus) Daughrity
(1894-1936)
About 1898

 Etta graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in Sumter, South Carolina about 1912.

 Etta married Manning David Daughrity, Jr. on 13 October 1912.  Four of their five daughters had pictures made in about 1925. It is not clear whether these are school pictures, but they were definitely school aged.

(1914-2006)
Frances Elizabeth (Daughrity) Hicks
 (1916-1989)

Lila Lorine (Daughrity) Robinson
 (1918-1951)

Loretta Geraldine (Daughrity) Dennis (1919-1959)

   

Daughter number five, my Grandmother Azile Juanita (Daughrity) Roberts Sullivan (1921-2009) was not among these pictures. Most likely because she was not school aged at the time.
 A picture was taken when she graduated from Sumter High School, Sumter, South Carolina in 1939.

 Along with these pictures of the Daughrity sisters, are school pictures of friends. Unknown to me now but important enough for Grandmom to keep in her scrapbook.
