FRANCESCA GROTHJEAN

Funeral services for Miss Francesca R. Grothjean of 2321 W. W. Sheffield 
avenue, will be held Tuesday at 3:30 P. M. in the chapel of J. P. Finley & 
Son.  Rev. Harry Hoatze will officiate.  Miss Grothjean, a Portland artist, 
died early Sunday in the Columbia nursing home.  She had been ill for several 
years.  

Miss Grothjean was well known for her marine oil paintings, receiving special 
recognition for this work at the 1915 Paris exposition.  She traveled 
extensively in Europe to study art and had studios in Paris, Denmark and New 
York.  She devoted the last years of her life to a project begun by her 
brother, the late Edward Grothjean, showing new citizens the principles for 
which America stands.  As a result of her work, framed posters outlining his 
ideas now hang in city schools and also are given to newly naturalized 
citizens. 

Miss Grothjean is survived by a sister, Miss Louise E. Grothjean of this city.
