She enrolled in the Medical College of Virginia (M.C.V.) School of Nursing diploma program, completing this in 1943, and over the next academic year earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at M.C.V., where she was also employed as head nurse of the hospital psychiatric unit. Booth subsequently undertook graduate work in New York City at the Payne-Whitney Clinic, Hunter College, and the Columbia University Teachers College. In 1945, she joined the faculty of M.C.V. as a clinical instructor in psychiatric nursing, advancing to assistant and associate professor before turning to private life at the end of the decade. In the mid-1960s, Booth resumed her career at M.C.V., and served as an instructor of psychiatric nursing for the Associate Degree program. When the Nursing School terminated the program in 1967, Booth transferred to the Student Health Service, where she remained until her retirement in 1982.","Alice Burford Booth, R.N., was a member of the faculty at the Medical College of Virginia School of Nursing, and a specialist in psychiatric nursing. Her papers, presented to the Bjoring Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry by her daughter, Patricia B. Woodard, R.N., include a variety of materials important to understanding mid-twentieth-century developments in the fields of mental health and mental health nursing, as well as strategies of nursing education. Booth assembled reference materials and notes concerning the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, as well as course outlines, examinations and assignments in the mid-1940s and again in the mid-1960s, when she returned to teaching after a hiatus to raise her family. Booth also collected a number of published documents, not only relative to mental health, but also concerning contraception and other medical issues, nursing education and accreditation, and informational materials on the region's major public psychiatric institutions.

Her father was a coal miner and the family moved frequently around the coal fields of West Virginia and Pennsylvania during her childhood. Seckar's artistic talents were recognized while she was in school and she was able to attend college, first studying at the University of Pennsylvania. She then transferred to the Institue of Fine Arts, New York University. She earned her Bachelor's Degree there in 1939 and her Master's Degree in the History of Fine Arts in 1949. Seckar's artwork drew inspiration from her coal field childhood, depicting working class people and landscapes with sympathy but without any attempt to \"prettify\" her subjects. She was also inspired by her travels in post-World War II Europe, where she visited the Eastern Europe of her parent's heritage. Seckar considered herself a politically conscious artist and took part in the Civil Rights Movement, anti-nuclear movement, and other causes. Seckar came to her second career as a writer almost by accident. She was initially interested in illustrating children's books, but after receiving several rejections, decided to write a book of her own. Like her artwork, her books drew from her childhood experiences living in the coal fields. \"Zuska of the Burning Hills\" and \"Mischko\" tell stories of children from Eastern European immigrant families living in coal towns, while \"Trapped in the Old Mine\" is a science-fiction story for young readers. Seckar continued to write, paint, and exhibit her artwork throughout her life. Even when, later in life, she developed multiple sclerosis, which crippled her right hand, Seckar continued to paint and write, even teaching herself to paint with her left hand. Seckar had been working on a novel regarding the lives of her grandmother, mother, and herself -- tentatively titled \"Jewels of Memory\" -- which was not published before her death. Seckar passed away on 7 March 2012 in her long-time home of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey.","556, 903, 2002, 4204, 4428","Papers of artist and author Alvena V.

The first officers of the chapter were Mrs. Paul Barringer, Regent; Miss Ellen McDonald, Vice–Regent; Mrs. Alexander Black, Treasurer; Mrs. J.S.A. Johnson, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Nelson Mayo, Corresponding Secretary; and Mrs. James Otey, Registrar and Chair of the History Committee. Many of the charter members were descended from pioneers who held land in the New River section of the Alleghany Mountains, now known as \"Trans–Alleghany Pioneers.\" The original members chose the name \"Alleghany\" over an individual hero of the Revolutionary War as their name, to preserve the colonial history and traditions of the region.","The chapter members erected several markers in Blacksburg and the region memorializing people and events of its colonial history. Most noteworthy is the marker at Barger Fort on Ribbles Spring in Christiansburg, on the grave of Revolutionary soldier and early settler Giles Thomas in the Blacksburg Cemetery, and in memory of Col. William Patton and the pioneers who lost their lives in the Drapers Meadow Massacre in 1755, placed near Smithfield Plantation in Blacksburg.","For additional information see:\n      Alleghany Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution\n      Daughters of the American Revolution","The guide to the Alleghany Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the July 1995 donation and May 1997 accrual of the Alleghany Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Records was completed in November 1996 and October 1997 by student assistants Helen Harrison and Gina Ellis, and by Laura Katz Smith, Manuscripts Curator.
