Early life and education
Isabel Grimes was born in Lancaster, Schuyler County, Missouri,Шаблон:Sfn June 16, 1858.[1]Шаблон:Efn Her father, Henry Clay Grimes (1832-1903), was a Kentuckian and her mother, Mary Frances (Tipton) Grimes (1836-1909), was of the Tipton family of Virginia.[2]
Owing to disturbances caused by the American Civil War her father, who was a merchant, removed his family to Ottumwa, Iowa, when Richey was three years old. In her new home, the child began her education and was a quick and earnest pupil, always winning the good will of her instructors. A year before the time for graduation, her parents moved to the town of Afton, Iowa. Here, she finished in the high school.Шаблон:Sfn
Career
For two years after graduation, she taught in the home schools.Шаблон:Sfn
After marrying Justus G. Richey on December 24, 1878, in Afton, Iowa,[2] they resided in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. It was through the grief that followed the death of her first child, a son, Welch Richey (1880-1885), that Richey became aware of her skill in poetry. In 1888, she had another son, Justus Livingston Richey (1888-1957).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[2]
The first sign of her poetical ability exhibited itself in fugitive verse,Шаблон:Sfn but she only wrote when in the mood to do so, and only a small portion of her work was offered for publication. Her first work was published in Omaha, Nebraska papers,Шаблон:Sfn writing for the press starting in 1892. From 1893, Richey published two volumes of verse.Шаблон:Sfn In 1895, she published through the press of Charles Wells Moulton, of Buffalo, New York, A Harp of the West, which volume of poems received flattering notices at the hands of William Dean Howells, Joaquin Miller, Prof. Herbert Bates, "Ironquill" (Eugene Fitch Ware), James Whitcomb Riley, and other authors and critics of the day.Шаблон:Sfn She provided the lyrics for 'The Wood Nymph's Song', set to music by W. W. Abbott and published in 1896.Шаблон:Sfn
Richey's poems were generally serious, reflective, womanly; at times, they were tinged with a faint suspicion of weariness and sadness. She sought no startling effect or vivid denouements. Her versification was smooth; she never forced rhymes and accents. Her poems appeared in Everywhere, the Omaha Bee, the Omaha World-Herald, Woman's Tribune (Washington), the Magazine of Poetry, the Nebraska State Journal, the Woman's Weekly, and other periodicals.Шаблон:Sfn
Isabel Richey died at Plattsmouth, November 13, 1910.[2]
