The Autobiography of Mary Frances Earp


The Autobiography of Mary Frances Earp: Memories, Reflections, Dreams has just been published. The framework is fictional, as Great Grandmother left behind no other form of self-expression than her quilting (cover photo), but the contents are historically accurate and extensively researched. Great Grandma tells of her life beginning in Iowa in 1862, her marriage to Will Earp, and their lives as homesteaders first in Nebraska and then in Oklahoma. Her father was Rev. Martin Van Buren Wright, who established the first Church of God in Stroud OK, and died there in 1914. The book contains genealogical information about the WRIGHTS and EARPS. It is available here from Amazon.com.

    Love the cover you and Shelley have chosen. What a great idea to use one of Great Grandma's old quilts for the cover! Congrats!
