An Oral History Of Meredith College Alumnae PDF Download

Excerpt from Meredith College Bulletin: Alumnae Number 1941-1942; November, 1941 Length of life and abundance of life are quite different; one by no means-implies the other. To Richard Tilman Vann both were granted in full measure. Born November 24, 1851, he lived into his ninetieth year.
