Margaret C. McGiffert, Abbot Academy (Cabinet Card by Amory Nelson Hard, 493 Washington Street, Boston, Massachusetts)

            (One of the first educational institutions in New England founded for girls and women, Abbot Academy opened its doors to seventy students on May 6, 1829 and flourished until Abbot Academy and Phillips Academy merged on June 28, 1973.  Written on the verso in ink:  Margaret C. Giffert, Hudson, New York, A.A. ‘84.)

Margaret Cooper McGiffert was born in June 1864, the daughter of John Nelson McGiffert (born circa 1822) and Sarah Carnahan (born circa 1834).  Margaret did not marry.  She was raised on the family farm in Greenport, NY, with her five siblings.  After graduating from the Abbot Academy, Margaret relocated to Duluth, Minnesota with her mother and three siblings.  Her work was published in the Atlantic (as “A Writer of Words”), The Dial (as “Tennyson’s Use of Archaic Forms”), and the poem “A Song For All Season” in Scribner’s.  Margaret remained in Duluth through the 1930 census. She passed away on 3 October 1935 in Otter Tail, Minnesota.
