Claudia Quigley Murphy

Born in Toledo in 1863, Claudia Quigley Murphy attended school at the Ursuline Convent of the Sacred Heart. She began a career in journalism as a correspondent for the Cleveland "Catholic Knight," then served as managing editor of the Grand Rapids edition of the "Michigan Catholic." Later in life she acted as a home economics consultant to major companies, writing books and articles. Her book The History of the Art of Tablesetting can still be found in many libraries.
