Circa 1955, St. James the Greater Catholic School, Walterboro, South Carolina. Aunt Ernestine is seated at right; she is the eldest sister of my paternal grandfather's mother. She was a beloved teacher and principal, and those are the children whom she taught. She was born in 1894, Charleston, and died in 1963. She previously taught at Burke Industrial School in Charleston and her Catholic roots started as a kid attending St. Peter's Catholic School for colored children, where her mother attended in the 1880s.
