I am particularly interested in Mrs. Kingsford's School. Is there someone, able to relate some information on this school? Here is what I show. Susan Bucher AYRES was an attendee. Also, who are the "silent dead of Kalmia?" Thanks, Vince Summers SUSAN BUCHER AYRES, b. October 06, 1826, Harrisburg, PA; d. October 07, 1861, Harrisburg, PA; m. ANDREW J. JONES, December 11, 1856, Harrisburg, PA; b. 1803; d. January 13, 1867. Notes for SUSAN BUCHER AYRES: Buried in Harrisburg cemetery. Or, died August 7, 1861? Sang Alto, according to GBA in N & Q. ------------- Mrs. Kingsford's School. - By George Bucher Ayres (b. 1829) A contributor (N. & Q. iii.) to this interesting and valuable department having made reference to the young ladies' seminary of Mrs. Kingsford, at Harrisburg, I am reminded of one of its rolls. In the absence of date I fix it about 1839. It will be interesting to recall some of the names perhaps almost forgotten; to note those who are numbered among the silent dead of Kalmia; and to repeat the maiden-names of the majority who are to-day among the noble mothers (some may be grandmothers) of Harrisburg. [in this list is Susan B. Ayres] ------------- Notes for ANDREW J. JONES: With parents Robert T. Jones and Margaret Williamson, emigrated to America 1806 from County Donegal, IRELAND. Settled in Bainbridge, Lancaster, PA. Appointed Postmaster by President Taylor. Buried in Harrisburg cemetery.
