Laurens — A Greenville woman who now lives in New York made a special pilgrimage here this month to the grave of Dr. Kate Wofford, Laurens-born educator. Mary Ellen Roof made the pil grimage for a Mohammedan girl who had long desired it but feared she Would never be able to make it. The Mohammedan girl, Fatma Incediken, of Ankara, Turkey, met Dr. Wofford in Kentucky about six years ago. Dr. Wofford was there to help in a program for advan cing the Turkish rural school sys tem. Fatma was her interpreter. The two women became close friends. Dr. Wofford stayed in Turkey about six months, then returned to, the United States and took a teaching position at the University of Florida. A group of 30 Turkish students was sent to this country to study. Fatma came along as interpreter and again the two wo men met. They roomed together at I the university and their friendship grew. After Fatma returned to Turkey, Dr. Wofford died in 1954. Later the Turkish girl was able to come back to the United States | and study for doctorate in educa tion In New York she roomed near Miss Roof and spoke often of Dr. Wofford and her desire to make a pilgrimage to her grave. Time and money did not permit, however, and Fatma feared she never would be able to make it. When Miss Roof mentioned that she! planned to visit her mother in I Greenville, Fatnu asked her to| make the pilgrimage for her. Miss Roof made the pilgrimage this month, accompanied by Mrs i Tom Wofford of Greenville, sister-! in law of Dr Wofford, and Dr. G.
