Obituary for Ernestine May Dempsey died 11 July 1939 DeKalb Co., GA

From the Atlanta Journal--date missing
Miss Dempsey Rests in Jackson
Funeral services for Miss Ernestine May Dempsey, veteran Atlanta educator, 
who died Tuesday at a private hospital, were conducted Wednesday morning 
from Spring Hill. The Rev. R C Cleckler officiated. Burial was in Jackson, 
Ga.
Miss Dempsey was a teacher in the Atlanta public schools for nearly two 
decades. At the time of her death she held a position in the English 
department of Girls' High School.
She taught in schools throughout the state and was at one time 
superintendent of the city schools of Buena Vista, Ga. In this capacity she 
attracted much attention as one of the first women in the state of Georgia 
to hold such an important post.
She was a member of the Methodist Church.

I found this in my mother's papers.  Miss Dempsey was her favorite teacher 
at Girls' High.
