Materials collectively offer a glimpse into the family history and personal life of Julia Cross. A thirty-year scrapbook kept by Julia's father, Philip Cross (1848-1922), provides information on the background of the Cross family and his advancement in business in New York City. Photographs show her home with Philip Evergood (1901-1973) and later in Arizona; the scenes include exterior and interior domestic locations, as well as events. The couple are pictured with friends and pets, and later in life she is with her caregiver, Margit Swopes. Also included are assorted studio portraits of an adult Julia. In the subseries on her husband, Philip Evergood, a small number of articles, artwork, exhibit catalogs, clippings, and other evidence that she saved regarding her father-in-law's and husband's art careers are included. Legal correspondence documents the disposition of the estates of both Evergood and Cross. Materials in Miscellany are personal items and an inventory of the donated collection. |
