Mary Hinton Carraway Parker (1842-1930) started school in Everittesville when she 
was about six or seven, finishing at the Academy. This academy was a mile and a 
half from the plantation of the Carraways. It had been built by the planters of 
the neighborhood so their children could get a good education. There were the 
Cobbs, the Daniels, the Lanes, the Everettes, the Colliers, and others. Mary was 
inclined to be a studious child, and received words of approbation from her 
teachers in the academy.

Before her marriage she learned to face danger, knew a life of privation, but 
went with head lifted all the time, unafraid. She began teaching at the Academy 
near her home, where she had received her primary education, and taught there 
until her marriage in 1873.
