MRS. ALICE McCLURE GRIFFIN,
Nee McClure, was a native of Newport, Ky., where her father was famous for
his benefactions and public liberality when the wheel of fortune made him
suddenly wealthy.  Since her marriage to George W. Griffin (himself an
author and writer of some distinction) her home has been in Louisville,
except when absent with her husband in Europe, while he was consul to
Copenhagen.  A volume of "Poems by Alice McClure Griffin," 126 pages,
12mo., was published at Cincinnati, in 1864; they were all written when
the author was between fourteen and twenty years of age. [note: Poems
shown: "Voice Of The Steamlet" and "Wandering Stars."]
