An Adair Co. Author: Mary Allen Grissom (1883-1963)

By JIM

With the annual Adair County Book Fair just days away, a brief sketch of a local author seems in order. The name Mary Allen Grissom likely doesn't ring any bells, but her one publication remains in print after 90 years.

She drew her first breath in July 1883 in the Bliss community, the oldest child and only daughter of Dr. William T. and Elizabeth A. Jones Grissom. Her early education isn't known but possibly consisted of common (or subscription) school followed by attendance at the Male & Female College in Columbia.

Mary Allen's musical interest and ability manifested early, and in March 1901, the Adair County News reported her recent return home after having "taken music in Louisville for the past six or eight months." June 1902 found her receiving a Diploma in Music from the L.C.Y.L. (Lebanon College for Young Ladies) in Lebanon, Tennessee. The following June she earned the Baccalaureate of Arts degree from the same school, and fall of that year found her teaching there as an assistant music instructor, a post she held through at least the spring term of 1906.

Over the next several years, in the custom of the day, she taught in several schools, including those in Greenfield, Tenn., Asheville, No. Car., Franklin, Va. (where she served as head of the music department), Mount Vernon, Ky., and at the Bethel Female College, Hopkinsville, Ky. as director of the music department, as well as a handful of other institutions of learning.
