(Martha Schofield's diaries 1858, Friends Historical Library; Swarthmore, PA).

Schofield also taught in Harrison, Westchester County, New York, at a school affiliated with the Purchase Monthly Meeting.

[6] During the Civil War, Schofield worked in the Summit House military hospital though forbidden to nurse and so she ended up fundraising.

Unfortunately, the malaria conditions on the islands caused her health to suffer, so she moved full time to Aiken, South Carolina.

The school was run by Elizabeth Dorsey and Sarah Fisher Corlies, the sister of Deborah F.

As the need for financial aid increased, the school received additional funding from members of the Hicksite Quakers, specifically those from the Philadelphia and New York Yearly Meetings.

The Aiken Public School District chose to phase-in desegregation rather than follow Brown vs. Board of Education in 1964.

11th and 12th grade classes with black and white students attended Aiken High School.
