Elizabeth Zoe Kauffman, the Lancaster Artist d. Aug 1965
Hi, Kauffman friends.I just found out that Elizabeth Zoe (Toomer) Kauffman was an art teacher in the Hempfield School District of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area, prior to her death in Aug 1965.
If anyone lives in that area, it would be helpful if you could check with that school district to find out more about her paintings.
Another owner of one of her paintings has come forward to discuss her works.And, I have learned that some of her paintings did go up for auction. I will be investigating that further.
I also found out that Zoe was in the process of illustrating the book, "Johnny Coppersmith", when she died. Henry J. Kauffman, her husband, finished the book after she died.Also, the Smithsonian had requested a copy of the book and was thinking about selling it in their store at one point.I don't know if they ever did. We will have to write them and find out more about it.
