DuPre, Julia Clarkson, of Charleston, S. C., was the daughter of Madame Julia (Schmidt) DuPre, who in 1841 established and for many years presided over the Charleston Female Seminary. Julia DuPre entered Troy Seminary in 1834, and graduated in 1836.
On leaving school she accompanied her mother and sister to Europe, pursuing for a number of years the study of painting, under the leading masters of Paris.
In 1841 she married in France, Henry Brentuel Bonnetheau, son of Peter Bonnetheau, one of the founders of the Huguenot Church in Charleston.
During their stay in Paris a large fire in Charleston brought heavy losses to Madame DuPre. The family returned to Charleston, and bravely met their reverses by opening a school in 1841, which until 1861 was widely and favorably known as "The Charleston Female Seminary". Mdme. Bonnetheau devoted herself assiduously to the retrieving of her mother's fortunes, contributing signally to the success and reputation of the school, not alone by her intructions in painting, for which her attainments eminently qualified her, but by her charming personality. Mr. Bonnetheau, himself an artist, shared his young wife's responsibilities in the well-equipped studio of the school.
Retaining the social prestige of her more prosperous days, Mrs. Bonnetheau was able to introduce into the most aristocratic circles of Charleston the young ladies whose education had been conducted in the school of Mme. DuPre. The daughters of such historic families as the Gadsens, the Pickens, the Brooks, and the Evans, representatives of Southern families who lived upon their broad plantations before the War, were chaperoned by this beautiful woman, whose charms and accomplishments they could but emulate.
Mdme. Bonnetheau died in 1869, survived by one son, Henry DuPre Bonnetheau, whose home is in Jacksonville, Florida. A number of paintings from his mother's brush are in his possession, but the greater part of her work was destroyed by fire during the last War.
Daughter of Cornelius Dupre (1758-1828) and Julianna Schmidt (1795-1879).
