My grandfather, Lewis Farmer Franklin, attended the College around 1870, as did Mathew Berry Yocum, a nephew of my GGGgrandmother, Margaret Watts Hays, One of the daughters of Margaret's cousin, Arminta Kimberlin Burrus, who lived in Liberty attended college there- her sister married a professor there but I don't know which college she attended.. Lewis' grandfather Rev. Lewis Franklin was one of the founders.

I searched for information about the College for a short biography of Berry Yocum to accompany his diary which I put online at the Watts Hays Letters website and could find only one reference, apparently it closed it's doors some time in the past. I'd like to know more about the college and would appreciate you writing me. Email: owl@mcn.org
