Margaret Walthour Lippitt

Margaret Walthour Lippitt (November 5, 1872 – July 23, 1964) was an oil painter and art teacher. She was born in Clayton, Alabama, and raised in Savannah, Georgia. As a young woman, she taught art at a private girls' school in Tuscaloosa, where she lived with her grandfather, Major General Henry D. Clayton, then President of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.[1]

Lippitt spent several years in Washington, DC, living with her aunt and uncle, Senator James L. Pugh, while she studied painting under Howard Helmick.[1] While in another of Helmick's classes in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, Lippitt met her future husband, Devereux H. Lippitt, whom she married in 1894.
