Ella Anna Loose (née Clark, 1860-1945), Kansas City, MO, and Washington, DC, by 1934 [1];

Her gift to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 1934.

NOTES:

[1] Ella Loose was a charismatic philanthropist who is best known today for donating Loose Park to Kansas City in 1927 in remembrance of her late husband, Jacob Leander Loose (1850-1923), founder of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit company (later Sunshine Biscuits). Ella Loose spent the winters in Washington, DC, where she was a popular member of the social scene. She gave some of her impressive collection of jewelry, art, and furnishings to the Nelson-Atkins, many of which she collected during her travels around the world.
