Biographical/Historical Note:

Marie Sturwold was born on January 8, 1897 in Cincinnati, OH. With multiple generations of

gardeners surrounding Marie, her love of gardening came at an early age. Her passion and

knowledge was strengthened and expanded when she attended the University of Cincinnati

where she studied botany, as well as biology and bird study. Her life as a gardener was forever

changed when she met John Aull in 1922. John owned Aull Brothers Paper and Box Company;

one of the first large successful companies in Dayton. John also owned extensive property North

of Dayton. This property would one day become Aullwood Garden and Aullwood Audubon

Center. When Marie and John met on an Alaskan vacation they had an immediate connection

and found they had many shared interests, including travel, nature, plants, and conservation.

Despite a 30 year age gap, the couple courted for a year before marrying on June 26, 1923.

John used the Aullwood lands mainly as a weekend retreat. After their marriage, Marie fell in

love with the property so much that it was just a few months before the couple was living there

year round. Marie became a prominent member of Dayton society joining many clubs: Friday

Afternoon Club, Dayton Garden Club, Garden Club of America, National Audubon Society, and

more. Marie and John spent the next 30 years together building their Aullwood house, planting,

gardening, fighting for conservation and managing the rest of their extensive lands. When John

died in 1955, Marie began exploring options for the future of their property. She selected the

National Audubon Society as the beneficiaries for most of the Aullwood lands. Its goal was to

turn Aullwood into an educational center. The society convinced her to donate the land while

she was still living in order for her to help in the management and development of the center.

She agreed and in 1957 the Aullwood Audubon Center was officially dedicated. Marie did not

stop with the protection of her own lands. In December 1964, Marie donated $50,000 to assist

the Dayton park district in purchasing its first land. This was before the first public levy that

would later allow for the establishment of the Montgomery County Park District. In 1977, Marie

donated her house and 30-acre garden to the Montgomery County Park District, which would

one day become Five Rivers MetroPark. She continued to live there until her death August 30,

2002. She was 105 years old.

Scope and Content The Marie Aull Papers document the life of a significant Daytonian involved extensively in

gardening, education, travel, and the Dayton community. Through these records, researchers may

gain insight into gardening, on a national and local level, world travel during the late 20th

century, and the history of a noteworthy local property.


Series I, Travel, is divided into eight subseries. Marie had most of her travel material sorted by

individual trip. The trips were then placed in chronological order.

Subseries IA, 1920s-1940s, documents travel that Marie took with her husband, John. These trips

often include itineraries, ship passenger lists, brochures, and postcards.

Subseries IB, 1950s, documents travel that Marie took after John’s death in 1955. These trips

often include itineraries, receipts, correspondence, travel journals, postcards, and brochures.

Subseries IC, 1960s, Subseries ID, 1970s, and Subseries IE, 1980s-1990s, documents travel that

Marie took with her sister, other friends, and alone. Some trips were through various

organizations: Audubon Society, Cincinnati Nature Center, American Horticultural Society,

Garden Club of America, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and more. These trips often include

itineraries, receipts, correspondence, travel journals, postcards, and brochures.

Subseries IF, Postcards and Prints, contains postcards and prints from the various trips Marie

took. Almost all are undated and they were found all together. There are postcards that can be

found within the individual trips’ subseries. Those postcards were not separated.

Subseries IG, Undated Trips, also documents excursions Marie took. The materials in this

subseries however have no decipherable creation date. This subseries includes important material

like travel journals.

Subseries IH, Research, planning, and possible trips, contains mostly travel brochures and

pamphlets. There are not itineraries or receipts to prove that Marie went on any of these trips.

Rather than assume or force order the material was placed in this subseries.

Series II, Garden, is divided into six subseries. Marie’s garden, house, and property are often all

referred to as Aullwood even though different lands are held by different organizations.

Subseries IIA, Aullwood, contains garden material from before John’s death and anything

generically labelled Aullwood. Material includes plant lists and orders and garden analyses.

Subseries IIB, Audubon, contains material from the Aullwood Audubon Center and farm. This

subseries is small, but it does include pamphlets, annual reports, newsletters, and Greenvalley

Award applications.

Subseries IIC, MetroParks, contains material from the Aullwood Garden MetroParks. This

subseries is small, but it does include pamphlets, reports, and garden legacy documentation.

Subseries IID, History and Aullwood Book, documents the history of Marie and John’s garden

and property. This subseries is small, but has a lot of valuable information. Some material was

put together by the author of A Place called Aullwood, Allan L. Horvath (box 27 file1). Material

in subseries includes deeds, legal paperwork, interviews, and correspondence.


Subseries IIE, Publicity and Conservation, contains mostly newspaper clippings and magazine

articles about Marie and her garden. The conservation part of this subseries is very small. It

mostly contains meeting minutes and newsletters from the Nature Conservancy and a few other

organizations. Marie won awards for her work in conservation, but this collection does not have

the extensive documentation of this work.

Subseries IIF, General Garden, contains mostly booklets and magazines on gardening techniques

and tips.

Series III, Correspondence, contains four main types of correspondence: significant people,

birthday, Christmas, and general. Birthday, Christmas, and general correspondence are organized

in alphabetically order when possible.

Series IV, Photos, documents Aullwood, Marie, and John. Photos were originally in envelopes

with the decade written on them. Even though it’s not clear who supplied those dates, the

processor retained the same dating scheme.

Series V, Personal, is divided into seven subseries.

Subseries VA, Childhood, family, and John, contains material from Marie’s childhood and from

John and his family.

Subseries VB, Hobbies, documents Marie’s various hobbies including, but not limited to: music,

birds, cards, crafts, and cooking.

Subseries VC, Poems, short stories, and essays, contains material that Marie displayed on a

bulletin board. The location of this bulletin board is unknown.

Subseries VD, Calendars, contains mostly engagements calendars from the 1990s. There are a

few older calendars that Marie used to record birthdays and special dates.

Subseries VE, Charities, is a very small subseries. It documents some of the charities that Marie

was involved with.

Subseries VF, Clubs, documents Marie’s time volunteering with and belonging to several

organizations. The most significant clubs were College Women’s club, Little Garden club,

Garden Club of Dayton, and Friday Afternoon Club. Meeting programs and correspondence are

the most common material. Marie wrote papers for the Friday Afternoon club that she more than

likely presented at a meeting.

Subseries VG, Awards, documents the various awards Marie received in her lifetime. Most of

the awards are garden related, but she received awards for philanthropy, conservation, and travel

writing as well.
