Introduction to the Lilly Family Papers
The Lilly Papers represent the second shipment of papers from
Austin P. Lilly. These papers differ from the first shipment in
that they are primarily the personal papers of Miss Lilly, many of
them her personal collection although some documents are from other
members of the extended family. Other shipments will follow and
will be processed accordingly.
Some rudimentary organization was present when the papers
arrived. Many items were labeled which greatly facilitated the
processing of the collection. The table of contents of the first
shipment was followed as far as was practical although some new
categories were added. Many items were processed in the Subject
Series because of the small size of the units or because they were
unique.
The Biographical Sketch from the Lilly Family Collection
(inventory #12) has been copied for use here. For the chronology
please see that volume. It will be necessary for researchers to
use each inventory to avoid overlooking valuable data.
Biographical Sketch
Grant E. Lilly was born in Estill County on February 27, 1865.
He was the son of Colonel Henry Clay Lilly, a circuit judge of the
Irvine district and a colonel in the 14th Kentucky Calvary, United
States Army, during the Civil War, and Catherine Tracy, a member of
a pioneer Pennsylvania family whose descendents moved to Kentucky.
Mr. Lilly received his early education in the private school in
Madison County at College Hill and Dr. Elliot's School for Boys at
Kirksville. He attended Central University in Richmond and was a
honor graduate of the University of Michigan law school in 1889.
Upon completion of his studies at Ann Arbor he returned to Irvine
where he served as county attorney of Estill County. He had also
taught school before receiving his law training. Like his father,
Lilly became active in the Republican Party, but around 1900
switched his allegiance to the Democratic Party.
Anna Dudley McGinn Lilly was born on February 27, 1872, in
Maysville, Kentucky, the daughter of the Reverend John Bolivar
McGinn and Mary Elizabeth Sheppard McGinn. She spent her early
life in Versailles, where her father was minister of the Christian
church.
On October 19, 1883, Grant E. Lilly and Ann D. McGinn were
married in Versailles. They had one daughter, Austin Page, a son
John Marion, and a younger son, Grant Lilly, Jr., who died at the
age of 12 in 1916. After marrying, the Lillys lived in Richmond
where they were involved in numerous civic projects and
organizations. Lilly was one of the leaders, along with Dr. Hugh
McClellan, Col. C. E. Woods, and Col. N.B. Deatherage, in a local
option fight prior to prohibition. Lilly was a member of the
Prandennial Club, a charter member of the first Chamber of Commerce
organized in Richmond, as well as one of the sponsors of the
Richmond Chatauqua. He also was a member of the American Bar
Association, the Kentucky Bar Association, and one of the
organizers of the Madison Bar Association.
He was owner and editor of three newspapers, the Madisonian,
which he founded, the Richmond Climax, and the Kentucky Register
which later were merged into the Richmond Daily Register. The
Kentucky Register was purchased by Lilly
for his wife who was its editor.
In 1918 the Lillys moved to Lexington. Lilly was elected
president of the Gas Consumers League which worked for the
taxpayers in an effort to reduce the price of natural gas. Lilly
ran for mayor of Lexington in 1927 and lost.
Anna Lilly was very interested in Central Kentucky politics and
civic affairs. She became affiliated with the Daughters of the
American Revolution in 1912 as a member of the Boonesboro Chapter,
later transferring her membership to the Lexington Chapter of which
she subsequently became regent. Mrs. Lilly was regent of the
Kentucky DAR from 1923 to 1926. In 1928, she spearheaded a drive
to have the state legislature approve a bill designating "My Old
Kentucky Home" as the official state song. The first rendition
of Stephen Foster's composition was sung on Sunday, April 15, 1928,
at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The occasion was the dedication of
the Kentucky bell in the memorial chapel there. The bell in the
carillion at Valley Forge was purchased with $1000 raised by Mrs.
Lilly and a committee of the DAR. She was an honorary life regent
of both the state and Lexington DAR.
With the advent of women's suffrage in 1920, Mrs. Lilly
organized the first Woodrow Wilson Club and in 1932 she founded the
Roosevelt Democratic Club of Richmond. Twice she was county
associate chairman for the Fayette Club of Kentucky. She actively
supported Alben Barkley's several successful senatorial campaigns.
Mrs. Lilly was four times president of the Richmond Women's
Club; a member of the Women's Club of Central Kentucky; a charter
member of the Madison County Historical Society, the Lexington
McDowell Music Club and the Bradford Club of Lexington; and held
membership in the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, the Colonial
Dames of Kentucky and the state and national officers' club of the
DAR. She was organizing president of the Kentucky branch of the
Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin Towne and of the Paul
Revere chapter of the Children of the American Revolution.
During Lexington's sesuqi-centennial celebration, Mrs. Lilly
was chairman of the Hall of Fame, which featured an outstanding
collection of historical items. She was instrumental in the naming
of Henry Clay High School and served on the board of the Henry Clay
Memorial Foundation when it began work on making Ashland a state
shrine.
She was a member of the board of directors of the Pioneer
National Monument Association which acquired the Blue Lick
battlefield and other historic spots in Kentucky. She headed the
Madison County Liberty Loan and War Savings stamp drive in World
War I and served as co-chairman of many Madison Red Cross
campaigns. She worked with the NRA in the 1930s and was a honorary
member of the VFW during World War II.
Grant Lilly died January 5, 1940, and Anna D. Lilly died July
30, 1948. Both are buried at the Richmond cemetery.
