Dudley Gloyne Summers was born in 1892 to William D. and Annie Sherlock Summers. He attended the New School of Art in Boston and the Art Students League of New York, studying under Thomas Fogarty, Charles Chapman and F. R. Gruger. His first illustrations were made in the early 1920's for MacLeans's Magazine and were followed by work for numerous American and international periodicals and book publishers. During World War 2 he was commissioned to paint The Four Chaplains, portraits of the chaplains who went down with their ship, The Dorchester. This painting hangs in the office of the Regional Conference of Christians and Jews in New York City. He was associated with Portraits, Inc., in New York City and his portrait of Sojourner Truth hung in the Sojourner Truth Library at the State University of New York at New Paltz from which it was stolen. In later years he specialized in portraits of children. His paintings were exhibited in many showings in Woodstock and elsewhere.

Pauline Stone was born in 1894 to Wilbur Macey and Lillian Newton Stone. She attended the Art Students League of New York where she met Dudley. She worked as a designer producing product advertisements, Christmas cards and illustrations for children's books. Perhaps her most successful work was in the field of bookplate design. One may surmise this would be due, in part, to the fact that her father, Wilbur Macey Stone, was also a bookplate designer among other pursuits. She received numerous commissions for these products of a now bygone era, several of which have found their way into museum collections including those of the University of North Carolina, San Diego University and the Ulster Museum, Belfast, Ireland. With the responsibilities of motherhood and the fact that Dudley was able to provide a comfortable living, she turned her attentions to the operation of an antique business specializing in children's books and toys. She died in 1981.
