After studying stenography at Smithdeal Business College (Richmond, Virginia), Agnew was hired as a secretary at Stonewall Jackson Institute, a women's college in Abingdon, Virginia. Around 1894, she moved to Long Island, New York, where she briefly worked as a secretary for a publisher before moving to South Africa to teach secretarial courses at Huguenot Academy in Paarl. She then served as principal of Amajuba Seminary (Wakkerstrom).","Returning to the United States ca. 1900, Agnew held several positions before becoming involved in the education of rural girls in Virginia. In 1910, she created a vocational education system through tomato and canning clubs in Nansemond and Halifax counties, becoming the nation's first  woman home demonstration agent. When administration of the state's home demonstration was transferred from the U. S. Department of Agriculture to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Tech) in 1914, Agnew became an employee of the university.","In 1919, Agnew became president of the Virginia Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. Two years later, she became a member of the national YWCA finance department. From 1927 to 1931, she served as editor of the women's department at Southern Planter magazine and from 1933 to 1943 as head of New Deal relief activities for Virginia women. Ella Agnew retired in 1943 and died on February 5, 1958. She was buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery, Burkeville, Virginia. At Virginia Tech, Agnew was the first woman to receive a certificate of merit (1926) and the first to have a building (Agnew Hall) named in her honor (1949).","The guide to the Ella G.

Sandy) was born February 22, 1857, in Essex County, Virginia. He matriculated at Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Virginia Tech) in 1875 but did not complete a degree and departed the following year. He married Sallie Thweat Miller, and the couple settled at \"Locust Grove, her Nottoway County ancestral farm located a few miles from Burkeville. With their two sons--T. O. (Oldham) and E. S. (Scott)--the Sandys raised Holstein cattle, Burkeshire hogs and Plymouth Rock chickens. Sandy also served as rector of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute's board of visitors.","In 1907, Sandy was appointed Virginia's first county farm demonstration agent. Working from the state's first extension office in Burkeville, Sandy served a three-county region and hired other agents to assist him. Under his leadership, boys' corn clubs and girls' canning clubs were developed. In 1914, the agency's administration was transferred to Virginia Polytechnic Institute, becoming the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Sandy served as a demonstration agent until 1917, when illness and his sons' absence from the farm forced him to retire. Thomas O. Sandy died on June 7, 1919. Sandy Hall, on the Virginia Tech campus, is named in his honor.","The guide to the Thomas O.

Sandy Papers was completed in October 2008. Preliminary work had been performed November 2006-February 2007.","This collection contains correspondence, farm records, receipts and other papers relating to Thomas O. Sandy, a Nottoway County, Virginia farmer and the first state demonstration agent for agricultural extension in Virginia. Sandy's correspondence relates largely to his farm business and extension work, though some personal matters are also addressed--particularly, Sandy's attempt to secure a military discharge for his son to return home and oversee the farm's operation. The collection also contains correspondence (mostly incoming), to Sandy's wife and sons, primarily relating to the settlement of Sandy's estate following his 1919 death. Also included, however, are letters regarding Thomas O. Sandy Jr.'s own farming business, as well as personal matters. Significant correspondents include Ella Agnew, J. D. Eggleston, L. M. Levering, G. S. Ralston, William C. Schmidt, and A. G. Smith Jr. Among the collection of receipts are many from local businesses for household goods, services and utilities, as well as receipts for farming expenses. The collection also contains Sandy's farm record book for 1914, and a published copy of briefs filed in the 1915 right-of-way dispute case of Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway Co. v. T. O. Sandy et als.

Sandy's correspondence relates largely to his farm business and extension work, though some personal matters are also addressed--particularly, Sandy's attempt to secure a military discharge for his son to return home and oversee the farm's operation. The collection also contains correspondence (mostly incoming), to Sandy's wife and sons, primarily relating to the settlement of Sandy's estate following his 1919 death. Also included, however, are letters regarding Thomas O. Sandy Jr.'s own farming business, as well as personal matters. Significant correspondents include Ella Agnew, J. D. Eggleston, L. M. Levering, G. S. Ralston, William C. Schmidt, and A. G. Smith Jr. Among the collection of receipts are many from local businesses for household goods, services and utilities, as well as receipts for farming expenses. The collection also contains Sandy's farm record book for 1914, and a published copy of briefs filed in the 1915 right-of-way dispute case of Norfolk \u0026amp; Western Railway Co. v. T. O.
