Purchase; Swann Galleries; 2017; (DLC/PP-2017:061). Emily Howland (1827-1929) was born near Sherwood, New York, to Quaker parents Slocum and Hannah Howland. Her lifelong activism was formed early on by the influences of her abolitionist parents. Slocum Howland used the family home in upstate New York as a waystation on the Underground Railroad. Emily's eagerness to contribute to the welfare of African Americans brought her to Washington, D.C., in the late 1850s, where at age 30, she began teaching at Myrtilla Miner's school for African American girls. From 1864 to 1867 she volunteered at freedmen's camps near Washington, D.C., nursing and teaching former slaves. This experience led her to purchase property at Heathsville, Virginia where she offered land to newly freed families and built a school within the community. The Howland Chapel School, opened in 1867, existed, with her unwavering support and the efforts of the local African American residents, until it was subsumed under Virginia's public school system. The building is registered as one of Virginia's historic landmarks. Lacy, Caroline N., 1838-1898, inscriber.
