Roots Web : Bartlette Street here in Sumter is named for a Mrs. Barltett or Bartlette that had a home on this street....it either was near or where the Sumter Telephone Co...(now Moise Mini-Warehouses) are.....The Rev. Bartlette is Presbyterian....so that may be a clue...There was a Chas. Bartlett that lost all the funds in Sumter's first bank....his father was Pres. Minister.....all the money was repaid..have never done this story....but fancinating to me.....his wife was from Texas....and they may have gone out there when their troubles were over....but speculation on my part.....I also have some things on the Sumter Female Institute or academy....went out of business in l902... historical sign on Washington Street......this one established in l867... all that I can remember for now.....mayorbubba@sumter.net -----Original Message----- From: GuyWhite3@aol.com <GuyWhite3@aol.com> To: SCSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com <SCSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, February 18, 2000 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [SCSUMTER-L] South Carolina Female Collegiate Institute >What do you know about the Sumter Female Academy founded by Rev.
