Cedenia Frazee was born on September 30, 1852, to Margaret Littell and Shotwell Frazee in Rahway, New Jersey. She graduated from the Normal School in 1870, receiving a certificate of merit for “best in constitution” in her class. She married physician Lewis A. Snell on July 7, 1879, in Rahway, then shortly afterward moved to Michigan where her husband practiced medicine.

Rebecca S. Smith was born in approximately 1842. She entered the New Jersey State Normal School on September 2, 1861, and listed her hometown as Trenton. She graduated in 1863, and her final averages, printed in the Eighth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the New Jersey State Normal School 1863, indicated that she was among the top of her class. She received a Teachers’ Provisional Certificate on July 16, 1863, for Delaware County, Pennsylvania. A year later, she applied and was rejected for a job at the Philadelphia Mercantile Library. Her collection was donated by her nephew Dewitt Clinton Smith of Pennsylvania, whose father, Albert Smith, lived in Trenton.
