KNOTT
COUNTY HALL OF FAME
MAY STONE
| May Stone (1817-1946), was the co-founder of
the Hindman Settlement School with Katherine Pettit on August 4,
1902 under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The Louisville native was in Perry County around the turn of the
century conducting day schools and answered the request by Solomon
Everidge to come to Knott County. Know for her boundless
energy and enthusiasm, she served as the first director of the
Settlement School and remained director until her death in 1946 when
Elizabeth Watts assumed directorship. |
