Miss Mamie MacSherry (sic)
Miss Mamie MacSherry, 77, former teacher at Union Street School, died yesterday at the Lutheran Orphan Home, Salem, Va., where she was a nurse and teacher since 1900. Mis MacSherry was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran church choir before the family moved to Virginia 53 years ago. Funeral services were conducted today in Roanoke, Va., and burial will be in Martinsburg, W. Va., tomorrow.

A native of Martinsburg, Miss MacSherry came here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James MacSherry, in 1871. Her father was proprietor of the Washington Hotel located on the property now occupied by the Windsor Hotel.


Note: Mamie was called "Mary" in 3 census records - 1870, 1880, and 1900.

per Catherine Cook:

Her death certificate says she was born in Maryland. The informant was Titus. C. Rohrbaugh of Salem Va. He was the superintendent of the Lutheran Orphanage where Mamie lived, worked and died. It appears that records coming from 1930-1940 census, death certificate, and obituary all of which share some errors, may have originated from the orphanage. Her claim to be a teacher, may be professionally valid. It was not unusual to take teacher training courses in high school. Her listing as "housemother" may be the best word to cover at least her later employment as it would include all the other titles - "teacher" as in informal instruction and "nurse". which I did not document. There were 3 "retired employees" living at the orphanage in 1940 including Mamie. One was listed as a teacher. Mamie and the 3rd person had no occupation listed. Were they there to provide the orphans with a "grandmother?"
