Leonora Beck Ellis

There were two brothers: Marcus W., judge of the Flint circuit court; and Walter L., business manager of the Griffin Wheel company, of Chicago.

[5] At once, Ellis accepted the position of young lady principal in the college at Bowdon, Georgia, which she held for two and a half years.

Especially, she devoted herself to the varying phases of the great industrial revolution in the South, and her papers treating of social, educational, and material conditions in the manufacturing population of that section were accepted as high authority.

[7] Besides a volume of stories entitled 'Star Heights', and an occasional poem, a series of essays on Robert Browning was, perhaps, her most enduring contribution to literature.

The Library of Congress listed her series of articles on child labor, because of the interest which they possess for students of this problem.
