IN MEMORIAM MISS MINERVA FREEMAN In lumine tuo videbimus lumen” Although she will be deeply missed by all who knew her, we, the first senior class to graduate without her guiding hand, feel that we have lost not only a conscientious teacher but a constant and loyal friend. The following is the life sketch of Miss Freeman which appeared in the Dover Advance: Miss Freeman was born in Hackettstown, but lived here most of her life. Her father, the late Dr. Amos G. Freeman, conducted a dental practice in Dover fifty years ago. She was one of the first Dover women to attend college, graduating from Marysville College in 1897. After graduation she returned here to teach Latin and medieval and ancient history. She abandoned teaching history twenty years ago, continuing her Latin classes. Many of her recent pupils were the children of her earlier students, a fact she frequently commented on in her classroom. She was a direct descendant of Francis Cooke, seventeenth signer of the Mayflower Compact and member of the Society of Mayflower descendants of the State of New Jersey, Huguenot Society of New Jersey, Morristown Society, Daughters of the American Revolution; Dcnville Chapter, Daughters of the Union; New Jersey Historical Society of Newark and the Randolph Memorial Association of Dover. Miss Freeman was also a charter member of the Dover Women’s Club and the Dover General Hospital Auxiliary and was a member of the College Club and the Little Theater. Page Six Labor omnia vincit”
