Mary Mortimer Baugham, for many years librarian of the Spartanburg Library, died Tuesday morning February 10, 1959, in the Columbia hospital following an illness of several years.
Daughter of the late Kenneth Rayner Baugham and Sarah Elliott Baugham (1852–1944).
Following her graduation at Converse College, she was a member of the faculty of Spartanburg City School before going to New York where she studied to be a librarian.
During the Depression, when there were no funds available to keep the Spartanburg Library open, she and her assistants served without remuneration as she felt the need for a library was greater at that time. Few people knew of this self-sacrifice except the Library Board who as soon as it was possible, showed their appreciation.
Survivors include her sister, Effie Baugham, sister-in-law, Edith Baugham, niece. Mrs. W.T. Brodie, and several great-nieces and nephews.
Also predeceased by a brother, Walter Baugham (1867–1937).
Graveside services were held in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, Spartanburg, officiated by Rev. John M.Younginer.
