Full Bio

Urania Sheldon Nott was the third wife of President Eliphalet Nott.
Prior to her 1842 marriage, she opened a private school for young ladies that eventually moved to Schenectady in 1830. It is likely Urania first met Nott in Schenectady through social connections, in particular Mary Hosford who taught at Urania's schools and married Jonathan Pearson, UC '35 in 1841.
"Miss Sheldon has been for several years past, the principal of the Schenectady Female Seminary, which under her superintendence attained the highest rank as a school for the thorough and accomplished education of young ladies."
