Notes |
- She was known as "Weenie," and was much beloved. Clearly, from her portrait and textiles she produced, including a quilt and two couch pillows that remain, her favorite color was maroon. Some of her tapestries/wall hangings are in the Louisiana State Museum in their textiles collection, as examples of Newcomb Style Art Embroidery.
She was for a time the Recording Secretary of the Orleans club. She also kept clippings of all social events in New Orleans which her family was involved with or attended--and there were many.
Note this resource, described here: http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/spec/scrapbks.htm, in the Scrapbook collection of the Louisiana Division of the New Orleans Public Library:
Programs, ca. 1896-1906 [#35]; 2 v.
Clippings from programs of concerts, operas, plays and other events in New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and possibly elsewhere. At least one of the volumes was kept by Mrs. A. W. McClellan. Both are small (6"x9") notebooks with clippings pasted in. Handwritten marginal notes indicate when, where, and with whom the various performances were viewed. Volume 2 appears to have been used as a diary or for other writings before the clippings were added. It also includes a program for the inaugural ceremonies of E. A. Alderman as president of Tulane University in 1901, a partial program for the St. John Rowing Club's races in 1900, and a partial program for the Crescent City Jockey Club dated March 17, 1900. Volume 1 includes a "programme" for New York's Cafe Boulevard.
