Summary
Stella Duckworth (1869-1897) was the half-sister of Vanessa Stephen Bell, Virginia Stephen Woolf, and Thoby and Adrian Stephen by her mother Julia Jackson Duckworth's marriage in 1878 to Sir Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), a prominent Victorian author and editor. Stella Duckworth married solicitor John Waller ("Jack") Hills (1867-1938) on April 10, 1897 in London, where she died on July 19, 1897. The Hills-Duckworth papers, dated circa 1860-1955, consist of personal and family correspondence, financial documents, photographs of Duckworth and Stephen family members, graphics, and miscellaneous items that were largely in the possession of Stella Duckworth at the time of her marriage to John Waller Hills in 1897, and retained by him after her death. They hold additional correspondence and other items belonging to John Waller Hills and his second wife, Mary Grace Ashton Hills.
