The Daily Union History of Atlantic City and County (Atlantic City, New Jersey: Daily Union Printing, 1900), page 271, says Thomas was Supervisor of Drawing
in the local public schools.
The Bulletin of Atlanta University (Atlanta, Georgia, number 148, October 1904), page 1, has this sketch on her:
Miss Alexcenah Thomas, of Philadelphia, Pa., comes to us as Supervisor of Primary Work and Critic Teacher in the Oglethorpe Practice School.

J., and Principal of the Model School in connection with the State Normal School of East Stroudsburg, N. Y.
