When 33-year-old William Nathaniel Misenheimer died of peritonitis in 1903, he left behind his wife, Sarah Ann McAllister Misenheimer, and four young daughters: Bonnie, Stella, Ruby, and Willie. Tragically, Willie also passed away in 1906.
Sarah came from an educated and civic-minded family—her brother was George F. McAllister, president of M.P.C.I. Having experienced the vulnerability of widowhood firsthand, she understood the importance of women’s ability to support themselves. She was determined that her three surviving daughters would receive a secondary education at Mont Amoena.
Although Sarah owned property, she was cash-poor; her assets were tied up in the family farm, leaving insufficient income to cover tuition.
In September 1913, Sarah, acting as the guardian of her minor children, petitioned the Superior Court of Cabarrus County for permission to use $300 from her children’s estate to support their education in the Mount Pleasant schools. She cited the inadequate income generated by their holdings and emphasized the educational necessity. The court agreed that the expenditure would serve the children’s best interests, and the petition was approved. The following are from the collection Cabarrus.
