Stella Friends Academy Class Roster

Stella Academy figures prominently in my new book, Phyllis Marie, a novel based on a true story. It's the story of my parentsâ??Perry V. Row and Phyllis Stanton Rowâ??and the B-17 Bomber he named after her during World War II. It is also a family history, tracing their parents from childhood and telling some of the stories of the Row, Whitaker, Stanton and Hill families from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, as they migrated between Kansas and Oklahoma. Three of my four grandparents attended Stella Academy: Clifton C. Row, Georgia Whitaker, and Edwin M. Stanton. Edwin M. Stanton's brother Irvin also attended, and their mother, Edith Bowles Stanton Worth, was a prominent teacher and preacher who worked there for a time as a dormitory matron. Georgia Whitaker's sister, Lena Whitaker Crow and her husband, H. Ernest Crow both attended.

There is more about Aunt Crosha and Henry Lynes in the archives from an article I submitted 2 or 3 years ago. My wifes father was raised by Crosha and Henry and several of his brothers and sisters attended Stella Friends Academy.
