Individual Details

Nellie Sebree never married. She went from Boone County sometime between 1903 and 1905 to attend business school in Cincinnati, Ohio, while living with her sister and husband, Pearl and George Weindel, in Covington, Kentucky. Following the business college years, Nelle became a model for Howard Chandler Christy, famous portrait painter, and lived at the artist's home in Zanesville, Ohio, with other models. Dick Chadwick, Nellie's nephew, had a full-length portrait of her in his living room. It was painted during the years when Nelle modeled for the artist. The painting had belonged to Dick's sister Betty before she died. After the modeling experience, Nelle got a job with the Fairbanks Morse Company in Cincinnati where she became the secretary to Mr. Dodge. When Mr. Dodge was transferred to St. Paul, Minnesota, Nelle went there also. It was when she was there that Dick and Beulah Kavanaugh also moved to St. Paul. Nelle's next move was to New York. She lived in an apartment on Columbia Hgts in Brooklyn in 1926. Her last move as secretary of Mr. Dodge was to Chicago where she retired at the age of 46.
