Fannie A. Nelms’ Herbarium, 1858 Marion Female Seminary, Perry County Marion, Alabama Fannie A. Nelms 1858 Alabama The Marion Female Seminary, Perry County, Marion, Alabama was founded in 1836. It had boarding space for 50 students and had an equal number of day students, who did not live on campus. They had kindergarten through college class work. It was widely respected and operated until the beginning of the 20 th century. As part of their studies, often students were required to make a herbarium of pressed flowers and leaves. This herbarium seems to have been part of Fannie A. Nelms’ course work. Miss Nelms graduated in June of 1858 and was subsequently was asked to join staff. She taught at the Marion Female Seminary from Sept. 1858 through June 1861. In time Miss Nelms married John W. Underwood. The herbarium descended in the Underwood family and was ultimately donated to the Perry County Historic and Preservation <strong>Society</strong>. The herbarium is currently at the Female Seminary in Marion. The herbarium is a bound red volume. Printed on the front cover in a florid script is the word - "Herbarium" and "Fannie Nelms" has been embossed in smaller gold letters. The volume measured 11 3/4" by 8 1/2" with no title page or page numbers. Not all of the specimens are identified. There are 76 herbarium sheets 117 specimens mounted. Compiled and submitted by George R. Stritikus.
