They used to have her read nearly every afternoon when the
school was out, and sometimes they would call to Professor Curtis to
read to the school. He was a very good reader, but Miss C. L. Franklin
was the grand trainer of the whole school. They had a grand reading
circle there at nights for the rich of the Ferry, and she was the one to
do the fine reading. All of the noble people of the place loved her and
she will ever be loved and remembered by all who knew her. She is now in
Washington, D. C., teaching, and the people have learned to love her as
we did. I do not think that any one could help loving her for her love
and fidelity to the race which she represents.
Miss C. L. Franklin's mother, who is a lovely woman whom we all love as
a mother, for she had many of the students at her house to board, like
Mrs. William Lovett, and she was so very kind to all of them that she
will be remembered by us all, for we love those in our school life that
would say a kind word to us. It was to help us along in our daily toil.
Mrs. Julia Robinson was one of the lovely ladies at the Ferry, also, and
all of the teachers boarded there. She has a number of the students that
board with her and she is much beloved.
Mrs. Bell was one of the ladies that kept boarders and she is much
beloved.
