by Henry Miller
Excerpt from Memoirs of Miss. Henrietta B. Miller: Late Teacher of Fairview School, Who Died at Waynesboro, Penna;, December 23, 1874 To record the achievements of illustrious statesmen or valiant heroes would be patri otic and win applause but to record the early culture of a bright-eyed little girl, and show how she was nurtured in childhood, and how her mind was gradually expanded and matured, as well as the growth of the body, until she became an object of admira tion and qualified for extensive usefulness, may serve as examples to those Who have the ih struction of youth, and prove a greater bless ing to society than arecital of the heroic deeds of warriors and statesmen.
