Additional Comments:
Minnie Lee Smith was born around the late 1890's.  She was the daughter of Dr. 
L.H. Smith and Mrs. Hester Love Smith.  She had two sisters, Miss Lovia Smith 
of Macon(mentioned in an earlier entry) and Mrs. Roberta Colclough of Cordele, 
Georgia.  She had two nieces, Mrs Minnie J. Turner of Montezuma and Miss 
Mattie J. Ellison of Chicago, Illinois. Her two nephews were Mr. L.H. Smith 
and Harold S. Johnson of New York.  Minnie Lee Smith was educated in Macon, 
Ga. and at the University of Chicago.  She was a public school teacher in Bibb 
County and she began the Beda Etta College in 1920.  It was named for her two 
sisters Beda and Etta which are nicknames for Roberta and Lovia Smith.  The 
school was erected on Grant Avenue located in the Pleasant Hill Community.  
The building site is now used as a parking lot for the Community Church of 
God, which is located across the street from Linwood cemetery.  She did many 
things for the community and was well thought of by the people of the 
community.
