Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams

She served Columbia County as a Jeans Supervisor for ten years, taught in
a one-room classroom, and was a teaching principal. She also taught one
year at Citra, Florida, as a teaching principal.

She served the educational profession for fifty-five years. After her
retirement she was still interested in boys and girls. She built the Burns
College for interested students.

Because of her faithful service to the county, the School Board, along with

the Superintendent, Mr. Albert Rumph, saw fit to give her the honor of
naming a school after her, The Minnie J. Niblack Elementary School.

She was the organizer of the Juvenile Department of the Sunday Morning
Band, where she gave her services training boys and girls, both
educationally and religiously. She will be greatly missed by all elements of
the Community and county: civic, educational, and religious.

She leaves to cherish her memory: one daughter, Mrs. Ethel Combs, one
sister, Mrs. Lillie Wilborn, three grandchildren, one great grandchild, a host
of nieces, nephews, other relatives and sorrowing friends.

(Minnie J. Niblack Elementary School was dedicated on Sunday,
November 6, 1955, 3:00 p.m. with a program in the school auditorium.

Principal M.L. Ferguson was the Master of Ceremonies and W. E. Combs,
State Supervisor of Secondary Schools, was the featured speaker.)
