Mattie V. Rutherford, Principal:

Mattie V. Rutherford, for whom "School No. 6" as it was originally known, was named, served as its Principal for 34 years. Joan and Barbara Thomas both attended MattieV while Mrs. Rutherford was Principal and Joan, my Mother, Joan Thomas, remembers her as very strict and kind of scarey. At the end of the school year prior to Joan's first grade at MattieV, she went with a neighboring student to the school as a guest. This was a tradition of the school. There in the main hall of the building Joan saw Mrs. Mattie V. Rutherford for the first time. She was scolding a young child with a cast on his broken arm, so Joan thought that Mrs. Rutherford was awfully mean to have broken the child's arm.

After her retirement, Mrs. Rutherford would occasionally visit the school that bore her name. "Oh, it was HER school," my Mother remembers. "What do you mean HER school?" I asked. "You could tell by the way she walked around. It was HER school." "But, Mom, I thought she had retired while you were still a student there" "Oh, yes, she had, but she would come to visit."

Mattie V. Rutherford died during the "re-zoning" of students to 10th and Market Streets Schools. My Mother remembers the long trek of the children several blocks back to MattieV School in order to bid farewell to their former Principal as she "lay in state" in the School auditorium. Shortly thereafter she was laid to rest in the Evergreen Cemetery just north of Andrew Jackson High on the East side of Main Street.

Miss Nellie E. Cooke was the Principal of MattieV while Joan Thomas cadetted then taught there. My Mother speaks very highly of Miss Cooke who had two sisters who taught at what was then known as Kirby Smith Junior High and located just north of DancyT and east of 9th and Main.

There is also a story Miss Cooke told of the 3 little Cooke sisters sprawled atop the shed roof behind their house near 1st Street watching the Great Fire of 1901 which incinerated most of the downtown core of the Jacksonville but did not cross Hogan's Creek into Springfield. Imagine!

A further note: Mattie V. Rutherford's husband, Professor Robert Burns Rutherford, was also a principal... of Old Duval High on Ocean Street. Later he became principal of Andrew Jackson High School when it first opened in 1927, and a year after that he was made Superintendent of Public Instruction for Duval County.
