Comments:
Glenna Sears (5 Sep 2017): “My beloved aunt, Lena Ethel Bernhardt, graduated in the class of 1926. I wear her 1926 Mont Amoena Seminary class ring every day. She finished her studies at Catawba College, and went on to teach 1st grade in Denton and then in the Rowan County Schools until her retirement. Her sister, my aunt, Pearl Bernhardt, was a member of the class of 1927, which I learned from your website was the last year of operation of the school. Pearl also finished her studies at Catawba College. She taught high school math for a time, and after she married, she and her husband, Julius Kluttz, lived in Greensboro, where Pearl worked for the IRS until her retirement. Pearl and Julius are both buried at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Salisbury.”
