MISS RUTH EADY
by
Vanik S. Eaddy, Ph. D.

Ruth Eaddy apparently changed her surname to Eady. She was listed as a
daughter of Southern Rights Eaddy and did not ever marry. Her family
moved to Latta, SC where Southern Rights Eaddy became a partner in a
mercantile business with Joe Bethea. He was Ruth Eady's great-uncle and
the first mayor of Latta, SC. Ruth attended high school at Latta. She
went on to Winthrop College before completing high school. She graduated
from Winthrop College in 1913. The college was started in 1912 for the
purpose of improving the educational level of children in South Carolina
through more effective teacher education and was closed in 1968.

Ruth Eady taught in South Carolina and Georgia before attending Teachers
College, Columbia University, from which she received the M. A. degree in
1936. She did post-graduate work at Peabody College, Nashville, TN.

Ruth Eady spent much of her career as a teacher at Winthrop College
Training School. Miss Eady was first employed at Winthrop College in
1928 as a supervisor of student teaching. She continued in that
position for twenty-nine years and retired in 1957. During her tenure
she was promoted from the rank of instructor to assistant professor. She
was named to the Winthrop College Emeritus Faculty in 1974. This was the
first time that Winthrop had ever bestowed such an honor.

Many South Carolina teachers remember Miss Ruth with great fondness and
gratitude. She made successful teachers of them.
