Biographical History

Ida Mae Hiram graduated from the Knox Institute in 1905, and received her Doctor of Dentistry Degree from Meharry Medical College in 1910. She became the first black woman to pass the Georgia Dental Board exam, at a time when there were only seven black dentists in the state ... Ida Mae and her husband practiced dentistry in their house on Hancock, as well as in the Morton building. The marriage did not last, although they had a daughter, Alice, who would remain in the home with her mother after her parents' separation. In 1934, Ida Mae Hiram purchased the home from Harris. Alice was trained as a dental assistant and worked alongside her mother both at home and at church. Ida Mae and Alice attended the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, where they sang in the choir ... Ida Mae Hiram resided at 635 W. Hancock until her death in 1979 at the age of 83. The home then passed to her daughter, Alice Hiram Wimberly.-- "Hiram House: A lesson in local history."
