Ownership and Custodial History
The materials in this collection, which originate with Ethelyn Jones Morris Guppy, were donated to the Farmville-Prince Edward
Historical Society Archives ca. 2011 by Julia A. Horner, the great niece of Ethelyn Jones Morris Guppy.
Ethelyn LeGrand Jones was born in New Store, Virginia in 1877 to Louis Dibrell and Louisa Flippen Jones. From 1894 to 1896,
she attended then-State Female Normal School. In 1899, Jones married Wiley B. Morris, a farmer in Buckingham County, Virginia.
Sometime prior to 1910, Ethelyn Morris moved to Boston, Massachusetts where she was employed as a contributor to, and later
editor of, The Modern Priscilla, a magazine devoted to women's fashion, needlecraft, and housekeeping. During World War I,
she was employed by the U.S. Surgeon General's Office, and was stationed at Walter Reed Hospital where she taught arts and
crafts to recovering soldiers. In 1921, Morris married George Guppy, an architect, and the couple subsequently moved to Los
Angeles, California. Ethelyn J. Guppy passed away on September 1, 1929 and is buried in Alhambra, California.
