Phenia C. Crisfield was a teacher supported by the Pennsylvania Freedmen’s Relief Association, an aid society based in Philadelphia. In October, 1869, Crisfield was sent by the Association to Darlington, Maryland, to replace beloved teacher Mary Watson, whose supporting organization, the American Missionary Association, could no longer afford to fund her there.
Crisfield taught at the school until April, 1870. At that time, the Pennsylvania Freedmen’s Relief Association ceased supporting teachers and schools in the South. She was then sent to teach a school at New Market, in Frederick County, Maryland.
