Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Who is the subject of this painting? Why should you care?
Clue: You may have seen this somewhere in Bergen County….
Diane Louie answered correctly:
Lucine Lorrimer, who bequeathed her property to NJ Audubon ("Lorrimer Sanctuary" in Franklin Lakes). She was only 38 years old when she died.
Well done!
You can read more here.
I have read that she died of cancer… Great woman.
How did Ms. Lorrimer become the owner of this property and how did she die so young? Obviously she must have been a wonderful person to bequeath this so that so many others could enjoy it.
