General Notes

Note

Display Value: Fair Painting and frame (SHH 2003.22 b) was given to Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens on 3/10/03 by Mary Chapman. Mary is the daughter of Penfield Seiberling and granddaughter of F.A. and Gertrude Seiberling. According to Mary Chapman, this painting is of the W.A.M. Vaughn residence at 2177 Ridgewood Road, Akron, Ohio 44313 (still in existence). Mr. Vaughn was the Vice President of Sales for the Seiberling Rubber Company and most likely his wife, Olive, and Gertrude Seiberling were friends. The painting went to Lily Oburn (Olive's mother) who lived in Indencence, MO. When Mrs. Oburn died, the painting went to St. Louis to an auction, then to a man in Pennsylvania who put it up for sale on EBay. Mary Jo Oburn Harwick, who is Mrs. Vaughn's niece, provided much of this information to Mary Chapman.
