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.
