Strange but fascinating find of my research trip is that Miriam Gratz Mordecai, daughter of Alfred Mordecai and Sara Ann Hays (whom I wrote in The Art of the Jewish Family) attended Emma Willard’s school in Troy in from 1857-1861 while her father was stationed at the arsenal across the river.

Had an amazing research day studying the diary of Maria Tillman at the Hart Cluett Research Library and Museum yesterday in Troy, NY. Maria kept an illustrated diary from her years at Mrs. Okills girls academy in NYC. House museum was owned by classmate’s family
