BIOGRAPHICAL
|
|
1854-1868, 1861-1881 |
Anna Wharton was born in Philadelphia on July 15, 1868. Her father, Joseph Wharton
(1826-1909), was a wealthy industrialist. He married Anna Corbit Lovering (1830-1914) in 1854 at the
Cherry Street Meeting House in Philadelphia. Two children preceeded Anna: Joanna (1858-1938), who
married Joshua Bertram Lippincott in 1885, and Mary Lovering (1862-1923), who never married. The
Whartons moved to Ontalauna near Old York Road, Philadelphia, in 1881. Their summer residence,
Marbella, was at Conanicut, west of Newport, Rhode Island. |
|
1881-1896 |
Anna was educated at Mrs. Head's School in Germantown and took private lessons in French and
music. In June of 1896, Anna Wharton married Harrison Smith Morris, son of George Washington Morris
and his wife, Catharine (Harris) Morris. Even though Morris was not a Friend, Green Street Monthly
Meeting gave permission for the marriage to proceed under the care of the Meeting. The service took
place at her father's house in the Quaker manner with over 140 witnesses. Anna Wharton Morris
remained a member of Green Street Monthly Meeting and was active in the Society of Friends
throughout her life. |
|
1856, 1872-1893, 1893-1905, 1909-1917 |
Harrison S. Morris was born in Philadelphia on October 4, 1856. He had two younger sisters,
Matilda Harris Morris and Jane Walters Morris, who never married. At the age of sixteen he went to
work for the Reading Coal & Iron Company to help support his parents, who were in ill health. In
1893 he became the managing director of the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts, a position which
he held until 1905. Morris also served as editor of Lippincott's Magazine, art editor of the Ladies
Home Journal, and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the National Academy of Design. From
1909-1917 he was president of the Wharton Steel Company. His activities brought him in contact with
leaders in the artistic and literary world. He also wrote and published his own works, in both
English and Italian, on Roman history, literature, and culture, as well as at least 17 volumes of
poetry, fiction, and essays. |
|
1899-1917 |
Anna and Harrison's only child, Catharine Wharton Morris, nicknamed "Kit," was born on Jan.
26, 1899. In April 1905, Anna underwent a hysterectomy, the first of a number of surgeries and
hospital stays that are documented in the Journals. The Morris family traveled to Europe in 1906,
1910, 1911 (when Harrison was appointed as United States Commissioner for the International
Exhibition of Art and History in Rome), and 1914 (when they witnessed the beginning of World War I
in France). These trips and the visit to California in 1917 are described in separate travel
journals. At home, Anna wrote numerous essays, short stories, and poetry, and participated in
Philadelphia's rich social and cultural life. Home was at the "Annex" on the Wharton property near
Old York Road until 1926 and then "Pear Hill." |
|
1913-1926 |
In 1913, Anna Wharton Morris became deeply interested in prison reform. This concern probably
stemmed from her horror over newspaper reports of cruelty to the young inmates at Glen Mills. In
1914, she met Thomas Mott Osborne, the famous prison reform advocate; the two formed a close
friendship which lasted until his sudden death in 1926. Anna's reports of conditions in prisons
throughout the country and, particularly, in the Philadelphia region, are preserved in her journals.
|
|
1925, 1944, 1957, 1988 |
In 1925, "Kit" married Sydney Longstreth Wright, Jr., the son of Mr. & Mrs. William
Redwood Wright of "Waldheim" in Germantown. Harrison Smith Morris died on April 12, 1948. Anna
Wharton Morris died on June 21, 1957, at the age of eighty-eight. Catharine "Kit" Morris Wright died
in 1988. |
Return to the Table of Contents
Anna Wharton Morris (1868-1957) was the youngest daughter of industrialist and philanthropist
Joseph Wharton. A birthright member of the Society of Friends, she was active in the prison reform
movement and was a prolific writer. Her husband, Harrison S. Morris (1856-1948), was a businessman,
author, editor, critic, and arts administrator. The collection includes her diaries and journals
which were maintained almost continuously from 1884 to 1956, correspondence sent, manuscript
writings, and miscellaneous materials. This material documents the life of an extraordinary woman
and is particularly strong in the areas of prison reform, the arts in Philadelphia and Newport, and
in the social history of the Philadelphia upper class.
In addition, the collection includes eighteenth and nineteenth Wharton Family historical papers
concerning many of the same individuals who are also represented in two related collection, the
Deborah Fisher Wharton Papers (RG 5/161) and the Joseph Wharton Papers (RG 5/162). Also of
particularly significance is the large collection of photographs which visually documents the
extended family and their properties. The photographs are housed separately in PA 65. Together,
these collections contain material with exceptional depth on the Wharton family and its extended
branches.
This collection was donated to Friends Historical Library in memory of Catharine Morris Wright
and Sidney L. Wright by their children. A closely related collection at FHL with the same provenance
is the Joseph Wharton Papers (RG 5/162). Researchers also should note that the papers of Harrison S.
Morris are deposited at Princeton University. The Osborne Family Papers, including the bulk of
Thomas Mott Osborne's correspondence and writing, are in the George Arents Research Library of
Syracuse University.
Corespondents include Frank Aydelotte, Cecilia Beaux, J. Howard Benson, Edward Bok, Elizabeth
Powell Bond, G. Edwin Brumbaugh, William Merritt Chase, Isaac H. Clothier, Florence Earle Coates,
Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maud Howe Elliott, William Hubben, Emory R. Johnson, Robert U. Johnson,
Florence Bayard Kane, Alfred H. Love, Anna Lea Merritt, John W. Nason, Thornton Oakley, Violet
Oakley, Elizabeth Robins Pennell, Lizette Woodworth Reese, Agnes Repplier, Felix E. Schelling,
Theophilia B. Stork, James M. Stork, Thomas Wallace Swann, Florence Emily Taylor, Anne Traubel,
Gertude Traubel, J. William White, Francis Howard Williams, and Owen and Sarah Wister. A more
complete index is attached to this checklist.
