Richard Alva Sentelle

  • R.A. Sentelle Diaries (1882-1933) – Sentelle was a school teacher, school principal, and the first Superintendent of Haywood County Public Schools, a job he held for thirty-two years. He was involved with the school system for sixty-five years and was a Baptist minister for eighty years. In order to keep accurate records of his daily activities, Sentelle kept a yearly diary each year for fifty-one years, allowing a perfect glimpse into his life as a minister and school administrator. The diaries are in the possession of descendant Sandy Boone. (Sentelle discussion by Sandy Boone is in Walking in the Footsteps of Those Who Came Before Us).
