Granville Seymour Redmond (1871 - 1935)

Flowers Under the Oaks

Granville Seymour Redmond was born March 9, 1871 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. He was a son of Charles Clawson Redmond and Elizabeth A. Buck.^[1]

He contracted scarlet fever at around the age of 3; when he recovered, he was found to be deaf. This may have prompted his family's decision to move from the East Coast to San Jose, California: the possibility for his education at the Berkeley School for the Deaf.

Granville attended the California School for the Deaf (CSD) in Berkeley from 1879 to 1890 where his artistic talents were recognized and encouraged.

When he graduated from CSD, Redmond enrolled at another CSD: the California School of Design in San Francisco. He famously won the W. E. Brown Medal of Excellence.

In 1893 Redmond won a scholarship from the California School of the Deaf which made it possible for him to study in Paris at the Académie Julian.

In 1898, he returned to California and settled in Los Angeles. He married Carrie A Jean on November 1, 1899 in Crawford, Illinois, United States.^[2][3] Together they had three children: Jean Granville, Helen, and Hiram.^[4][5][6]

Redmond died May 24, 1935 in Los Angeles, California, United States.^[7][8]
