The daughter of founding Bishop Stephen Elliott, Sarah Barnwell "Sada" Elliott (1848-1928) was a long-time resident of post-Civil War Sewanee, a well-regarded writer of novels and short fiction, an activist for white women's suffrage, and promoter of the University of the South as the true "heir" of the Old South and immortal cause of the Confederacy. She preferred to be called by her nickname "Sada." From her home in Sewanee, she hosted generations of students and, according to contemporary accounts, embodied for them the enduring values and truths of the "Old South."
