Lewis Ginter
Major Lewis Ginter (April 24, 1824 – October 1, 1897) was a prominent businessman, military officer, real estate developer, and philanthropist centered in Richmond, Virginia. A native of New York City, Ginter accumulated a considerable fortune throughout his numerous business ventures and became Richmond’s wealthiest citizen despite his exceptionally modest demeanor.〔“Lewis Ginter.” "The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography" 5, 348.〕 While the Jefferson Hotel, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and Ginter Park embody some of Ginter’s major urban contributions to Richmond, many of his philanthropic gifts were given anonymously to charitable organizations and individuals in need.〔Burns, 178.〕 His continued devotion to Richmond is captured in his famous remark, “I am for Richmond, first and last.”〔Burns, 284.〕
==Early life==
Lewis Ginter was born to John and Elizabeth Ginter, a Dutch immigrant couple, on April 24, 1824 in New York City. His father owned a grocery store, but died soon after Ginter was born. Several years later, Ginter’s mother died, leaving him to be raised by his older sister and brother with their relatives.〔Ryan and Wayland, 3.〕
