This early 1890s photograph showing Emma Jane Shelton Hampton Wike (1870-1954), a teacher of the culinary arts, standing in the center against a post with Cherokee Indian boys and girls holding brooms and tools in front of a building in Cherokee, North Carolina is part of the Sara Madison Collection. The original photograph was donated to Museum of the Cherokee Indian by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sutton. Mr. Culberson of Asheville made the photographic reproduction displayed here. 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.
