Biographical Information
When Elizabeth V. Dixon arrived in Havre de Grace in the fall of 1868, she likely looked strikingly similar to the young children she had been hired to teach. Records indicate that Dixon was born sometime around 1852, making her 16 or 17 when she opened the school on October 6. Despite her young age, Dixon was tasked with many responsibilities during her time in Harford; over the course of the 1868-1869 school year, for example, she was charged with managing as many as 40 pupils at one time. Additionally, as the town’s only African American educator, it appears Dixon was also responsible for leading the local industrial school, where she taught students how to sew and knit.
