    This Virginia woman was the niece of a tobacco manufacturer who inherited a large sum of his fortune. She financed construction of a Church in the early 1900's and free-circulating library shortly before then. She financed a tuition-free school in between those two endeavors also. She also funded many other similar institutions during her lifetime and was fiercely private, refusing to have her portrait painted or to be photographed and very rarely appeared in public. This woman died in 1926. Who was she?
