Scope and Content

A two-page document detailing the sale and later history of The Hermitage, and that of Andrew Jackson's family and descendants.

Context

Rachel McGill, who this document presumably belonged to, was secretary of the freshman class at Ward-Belmont in 1918 and president of the preparatory special class in 1919. She was also a member of the Twentieth Century Club both years, and served as the club's custodian of the memory book in 1919. The T.C.C. held an annual picnic at The Hermitage (see 2023.042).
