This 1894 photograph showing a portrait of William Dallas Wike (1867-1940) is part of the Sara Madison Collection. A brief biography of William Dallas Wike is written on the back of the photograph. The biography describes Wike’s education at Cullowhee High School under professor Robert L. Madison from 1892 to 1893 and his graduation in 1894. Wike moved to Texas to complete a teacher training course at Howard Payne College and taught for one year in McColloch County (Texas) before returning to North Carolina. Dr. Sara Jean Sutton Montgomery Madison (1931-2017) had a lifelong association with Western Carolina University, and was married to James A. Madison (1928-2015), grandson of the university’s founder, Robert Lee Madison (1867-1954). As a child, Sara lived in Davies Hall on the campus of Western Carolina University, and later on Buzzard’s Roost overlooking campus with her parents, Eddie Marie Wike Sutton and Ralph Coleman Sutton.
