Adair County Authors: Noma Dix Winston Update, January 26, 2024: In 1941, and again in 1943, the Adair County News reported that Miss Noma Dix Winston had published short stories in American Magazine under the pen name Winston Norman. After a lengthy correspondence with the actual Winston Norman's daughter, Christine Klukkert, we are updating our 2005 article (and another followup) to definitively state that Winston Norman authored the short stories that we had incorrectly attributed to Miss Noma Dix Winston. Based on the papers provided by Christine, we are convinced that the Adair County News incorrectly reported on Miss Noma Dix Winston's career back in 1941. We haven't been able to dig up any further information about what role she might have played in the stories' publication, or how the ACN came to repeatedly get the record wrong. Our apologies to the Norman estate for the error. --Pen Original 2005 article below: Cyrus has dug out information on the secret (to a lot of her former history students at Lindsey Wilson College) life of Noma Dix Winston. She was a widely published author. She was a unique professor who was the bane of the college bookstore: Students were instructed not to buy a book. Just take notes. An unreconstructed Southerner, she told the Civil War in a way that, right up to Appomattox, there was hope for the CSA -Editor EW Story below by CYRUS, ColumbiaMagazine.com Central Ohio Bureau Chief I finally found the article about the authorship of Noma Dix Winston, the all time favorite history teacher at Lindsey Wilson College. Lindsey Instructor Publishes Sixth Story in American (citation FictionMag.com http://users.ev1.net/~homeville/fictionmag/d843.htm#A42528 link no longer active) had a partial listing of the works of "Winston Norman" including: A Dictionary of the New Deal, A Kiss for Santa Claus, The Handsome One, The Boss's Daughter, Flying Orders, Venganza, Know-It-All, and Man from Missouri. I scanned the News from Oct. 1941 thru Feb. 1942 but found no mention of the publication of "Venganza," "Know-It-All," or "Man from Missouri." Curiously enough, the article immediately below the one about Miss Winston was headlined "Mrs. Varble's First Novel Given Favorable Review." Rachel Varble later wrote one of the most important contributors to Adair County history with the publication of the "Jane Clemens: The Story Of Mark Twain's Mother," published in 1964 by Doubleday.
