Excerpt from Abbot Academy Sketches, 1892-1912 Philema mckeen was born at Bradford, Vermont, on June 13, 1822, the daughter of a New England minister. Educated largely by her father in the home, She taught successfully for a goodly number of years until in September, 1859, she came to be principal of Abbot Academy. She was then in the prime of a Vigorous life, and for thirty-three years she gave the best of that life whole-heartedly to the school. In 1888, worn by the labor of trying to raise the money sorely needed for new buildings, and discouraged at the failure to complete the full amount needed, She resigned from the principalship.
