Officers & Employees of the Children's Home, 1887

MANSFIELD WEEKLY NEWS:  08 September 1887, Vol. 3, No. 41

 
 
 

Submitted by Amy

 

The trustees of the Children's Home met at the building Tuesday.  The new Superintendent and matron, Mr. & Mrs. H.G. Palmer, moved in and Mr. & Mrs. J.H. Mowers, moved out, finishing today.  The late trouble did not crop out again.  Mrs. August Remy also left the institution.  The little girls of her department wept bitterly at her departure and pleaded with the trustees that she be allowed to remain.  This shows that she is at least capable of winning the affections of those in her care.

The new roster of officers and employees is as follows:  Mr. & Mrs. Palmer, $50 per month;  Miss Ella Becker, teacher, $16;  Miss Mattie Ward, girl's governess, $16;  Miss Artie M. Dickson, boy's governess, $16;  Miss Jane Conaway, nursery, $16;  Miss Effie Fisher, dining room girl and assistant boy's governess, $10;  Miss Lou Hughes, seamstress, $12;  Miss Sallie Bricker, cook, $12;  Miss Winans and Miss Holmes, laundresses, $12 each.

August Remy was employed at a salary of $1.50 per day to look after the boilers and outdoor work while his services are necessary.  Mr. Palmer's son expects to go to school this winter and it is probable therefore that Mr. Remy will remain at the institution until next summer.
