The plaque, located at the University of Georgia’s Founders Memorial Garden, is dedicated to Ida Naylor Hilton. She was the wife of Joseph Hilton who was the founder and owner of Hilton & Dodge Lumber Company in Savannah, Georgia. Both Ms. and Mr. Hilton were significantly involved in the community and were socially active people. In 1912, Mrs. Hilton founded the Garden Club of Nyack on Hudson, New York. The organization assisted local garden and “civic beautification” projects. Her daughter, Ida Hilton Seymour, who presented the stairs of Memorial Garden house, dedicated the plaque to honor her mother.
