Since this would make her born in 1836, I believe this is her at Boarding School; especially since one of the residents is a teacher.

West Point, Ga., February 2 - (Special) Mrs. A. A. Zachery died at her home this morning at an early hour. She had been an invalid for a number of years, but the news of her death came as a shock to her many friends, who did not know her condition was so serious. Mrs. Zachry was 65 years of age, and had lived her all her life. She leaves a daughter, Miss Nettie Zachry; a son, James T. Zachry (he is a step-son - vjf), and two brothers, LaFayette and Frank Lanier. Her remains were interred in Pinewood cemetery at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

West Point, Ga., June 14, 1862. Editors Southern Confederacy:
I have recently arrived in the pleasant town of West Point,
situated on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. I think an account of what
the people of this town--especially the ladies--have been doing during the
war, would be interesting to your numerous readers.
. . . But the ladies here have been doing their share of the work of
independence. The fame of the beautiful daughters of West Po't have been
heralded far and wide. The graceful belle of Georgia resides in this place--
all will know of whom I speak. There is one monument in Atlanta which
proclaims, by its whiteness and disconsolate appearance, the irresistible
attractions of her charms. The ladies of West Point are fired by that love of
liberty which is characteristic with Georgia women. Early in the commencement
of this war, they formed themselves into a Soldiers' Relief Society, and the
good they have accomplished will be known only in that day when the works of
all shall be made manifest, and the hearts of all shall be laid open to view.
The well clad soldiers on the mountains of Virginia, and the eyes of the sick
who have just risen from their confinement after having been the recipients of
the tender care of the patriotic ladies of this place, would more forcibly
convey the evidence of what these ladies have done than anything I could say.
They still go on in their good work--never weary--and will not cease till the
last soldier has returned from the field, and peace shall once more reign.
The association is presided over by Mrs. Mary W. Erwin. One
more capable and energetic could not have been found. Miss Lucy Todd is Vice
President. The accomplished Miss Sallie Fannie Ried is Secretary, Miss Anne
Erwin Assistant Secretary, and Miss Belle Lanier Treasurer.
