Miss Anne Pavey was a teacher and housemother at the Bear Branch School, Line Fork Medical Settlement,<\/a>\u00a0from 1920 to 1922. She was from Chicago, Illinois, and also lived in Frankfort, Michigan, as of May 1922.<\/p>\n

An article in the 1922 issue of Notes from the Pine Mountain Settlement School<\/em><\/a> describes the beginnings of the\u00a0Bear Branch School.\u00a0For three years,\u00a0Miss Marguerite Butler<\/a><\/strong>, an extension worker at Pine Mountain Settlement School, had been traveling the seven-mile trail from the School to Line Fork Settlement to teach sewing to girls at the district school. Her frequent encounters with the\u00a0people living along the creek allowed the “school women” to be known and trusted and, eventually, a trustee of the district school asked the School’s co-director,\u00a0Miss Katherine Pettit<\/strong>,<\/a> to provide a teacher for the Bear Branch School. The article continues:<\/p>\n

The teacher was promised, and on their part, the neighbors at Line Fork gave land, and logs to build the six-room house; at several workings the men gave their time and the walls were raised. Four workers now live under the cosy <\/em>[sic] roof of the Line Fork Settlement, and all the world comes to their door. Miss Pavey brings her experience, gathered all the way from Chicago to Constantinople, to bear on the problems of [the students].<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0The other three Line Fork Settlement workers in 1922 were Miss Anne Ruth Medcalf<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cthe only public health nurse in Letcher County,\u201d Miss Mabel Mumford<\/strong><\/a>, who was studying at the University of Chicago, so \u201cthat next year may mean more to the children at her school,\u201d and Miss Lena Swinerton<\/strong>, “the housekeeper at the Log Cabin.”<\/p>\n
