Biographical Note
Olive May Graves Percival (1869-1945) was an American author, gardener, artist, poet, book collector, photographer, suffragist,
designer, and toy and paper doll maker. She was born July 1, 1869, near Sheffield, Illinois, and moved to Los Angeles in 1887
with her mother, Helen Percival, and sisters, living initially in the Women's Christian Temperance Union building at Temple
and Broadway and working as a sales clerk at Hamburger's Department Store. In 1891, she began her 38-year career in the insurance
industry to support herself and her mother while engaging in her many interests, working initially for fire insurance agents
McLellan and Golsh and then, from 1895 until her retirement in 1929, as a sub-agency clerk with the Home Insurance Company.
In the 1890s, Percival built a modest cottage along the Arroyo Seco in Los Angeles County, a dwelling without electricity,
but with a wood stove and windmill, that she named "Down-hyl Claim." The home, which she filled with her collections of ten
thousand books, hats, dolls, daguerreotypes, porcelain, silver, textiles, quilts, fans, bookplates, Lalique glass, and Asian
art, became the site of frequent gatherings for artists, writers, bibliophiles, and gardeners. An avid gardener herself, who
grew over 250 varieties of plants, Percival wrote The Children's Garden Book: Instructions, Plans & Stories: A Voice from
a Gentle Age (published posthumously by the Huntington Library in 2005). She was especially fond of roses, a cherry red variety
of which was patented as the Olive Percival Rose; this rose has been planted in the White House Garden.
An avid amateur photographer, Percival was particularly interested in documenting scenes of Southern California including
San Pedro, Chinatown in Los Angeles, and her own garden, as well as her visits to Mexico in 1899. She used her own photographs
to illustrate her book, Mexico City: An Idler's Notebook, as well as a series of articles by this name for the Los Angeles
Times, in 1900-1901. She was a member of many clubs, including the Friday Morning Club, the Society of Mayflower Descendants,
the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the American Society of Colonial Families. Percival spoke out against the California
Alien Land Law of 1913 and was also a member of the Japan Club in London and New York. She died in Pasadena on February 19,
1945.
