Cone sisters
The Cone sisters were Claribel Cone (1864–1929) and Etta Cone (1870–1949) of Baltimore, Maryland.〔(Inside the Cone Collection: Baltimore Sisters Amassed A Treasure Trove Of Art )〕 Together they gathered one of the finest collections of modern French art in the United States.〔(the Cone collection )〕〔(The Etta Cone Letters, 1927–1949 )〕 They were active as collectors, travelers, and ''bons vivants'' during the first decades of the 20th Century.〔
==Early life==
Their parents were Herman (Kahn) Cone and Helen (Guggenheimer) Cone, who were German-Jewish immigrants. Herman, who had immigrated from Altenstadt in Bavaria (South of Ulm) changed the spelling of his last name from ''Kahn'' to "Cone" almost immediately upon arrival in the United States in 1845, perhaps to become more American. Until 1871 the family lived in Jonesboro, Tennessee, where they had a successful grocery business. This is where the first five of twelve children were born, including Claribel and Etta. They then moved to Baltimore, Maryland.〔(''Forbes'' magazine 1999 article by Edward Cone (great great grandnephew), "Shirtsleeves to Matisses". )〕
The eldest Cone brothers, Moses and Caesar (non-classical spelling is correct ), later relocated to Greensboro, North Carolina. They established a textile business they named Proximity Manufacturing Company (long known as Cone Mills Corporation, now a unit of International Textile Group). During World War I the textile mills that "Brother Moses"〔 started would again increase their fortunes.
The two sisters, one with a grander personage and independent, the other garrulous and sociable, lived in adjoining apartments on Eutaw Street in the Bolton Hill neighborhood of Baltimore for fifty years.〔 They both graduated from Western Female High School. Claribel attended Women's Medical College of Baltimore and graduated in 1890, to become a physician and pathologist. She then worked in the pathology laboratory of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, but never practiced clinical medicine though she did teach pathology and continued to study with other European researchers over the next twenty years. Etta was a pianist and managed the family household, more as an implementer of Dr Claribel's ideas.〔(The Claribel and Etta Cone Collection )〕 They traveled extensively to Europe together almost yearly on long trips starting in 1901.〔
