My Grandmother's Graduation Certificate

My Grandmother's Graduation Certificate

This was the certificate given to my grandmother Oct 10th 1925. She would have been 18 years old. She lived on a farm in southern Georgia.They grew tobacco, corn and sugar cane. She went to school whenever she could, taking time out for planting and harvesting, as all the children thereabouts did. After she left school, she went to work at the Oglethorpe Hotel in Brunswick, Georgia, where she met my grandfather. He was working on a river dredge. He said she was the "prettiest thing around them parts."
