MRS. FLORENCE ANDERSON CLARK
Was born in Virginia, but brought thence at so tender an age that she has
never known any but her "Kentucky home;" was educated by her father, John
B. Anderson, a Virginia gentleman, of elegance and culture.  Her first
writings were prose; and her first book, "Zenaida, a Romance," was
published by Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia in 1860, when she was a
resident of Paris, KY.  Her first poems were published in 1858 and '59;
"Blind Tom's Music," in the Cincinnati Enquirer, July, 1865; during the
War, some were published in the South, and in London; since then she has
contributed to "Southland Writers," and other collections, published in
New York.  In 1869, she was married to Capt. James B. Clark, editor of the
Kentucky People, at Harrodsburg, Ky., and her pen has contributed to make
that paper both elegant and interesting, in poetry and prose. [Note: Poems
shown: "Answer to The Moneyless Man" and "The World Of The Ideal."]
