Abstract:
Wesleyan Female College was founded in March 1855 by Methodists of the Murfreesboro, North Carolina area. Roughly 100 young women attended the school annually from southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. While there, the young ladies studied music, learned social skills, made new friends and matured both mentally and physically. Both personal and political stresses occurred regularly among those in charge of Wesleyan, predominantly among the families of the schools president, Joseph H. Davis, and the president of the trustees, John Wesley Southall.
