Grace Arents : ウィキペディア英語版 | Grace Arents Grace Evelyn Arents (1848 – June 20, 1926) was an heiress, Christian activist and philanthropist in Richmond, Virginia. She inherited $20 million from her uncle Lewis Ginter, a tobacco business magnate and philanthropist, and she used the money to transform Richmond for the better. ==Early life== Arents was born in Manhattan, New York, the youngest of four children of cedar barrel maker James Arents and his wife Jane Swain Gintner Arents. When her husband died in 1855, she and her four young children received financial support from her mother's brother Lewis Ginter, a tobacco and streetcar business magnate, as well as Richmond real estate developer and philanthropist. In 1879, Arents and her mother moved to Richmond and lived with their bachelor uncle Ginter in the Ginter House, an urban brownstone at 405 East Cary Street near the city's business district. Her brother George also lived with them briefly, but rejoined his other two sisters in New York, where he became an avid collector and benefactor of the New York Public Library.
