born around 1884 in Meigs County, Ohio before moving to Athens, Ohio to become a domes-
tic worker in the home of Frederick Bush; owner, publisher and editor of the Athens Messenger,
a daily newspaper from Athens, Ohio. She managed to save enough money to purchase a lot
and build a home in Athens, a remarkable feat for the time, being a single black woman with a
third grade education.
