I am searching for information about Edith Cowles. She was a lifelong Jacksonville resident, born in about 1914. She is deceased. Miss Cowles was an English teacher at Robert E. Lee High School and later in her life at Wolfson High School. She helped reissue Harriet Beecher Stowe's travel book "Palmetto Leaves," published by the Univeristy of Florida Press in 1999). She graduated from Lee High School in 1933 and was a classmate of my father's. She was my English teacher in high school. I am interested in her writings, if any exist. I believe she was an author. If anyone has information about her, I would be most grateful. Philip Smith College Station, Texas

Hello fellow Lee High Graduate from Humble TX... I put her name into Google and found 50 references to her and/or her books, etc. I also found several entries from Ancestry one of which was her death entry in the FL Death Index. "Edith Cowles" +Florida are the search parameters I used. If I can assist you further, let me know. Best regards, Ann Native Jacksonian living in TX --- "Philip M.

Philip, I am also very interested in Edith Cowles. She was a very unique and gifted person and I will always remember how inspiring she was as a teacher. I was in her "before school" Humanities class reading all the classics, philosophy etc. She had a wonderful reading/speaking voice and would often recite poems to the class and tell us about poets she had heard read. Please let me know if you locate any of her own work. I was not aware that she wrote but would not be surprised. Thank you for the info re: Palmetto Leaves. I think of her every time I come back to Jax especially now that my Mom lives in Mandarin. I'm so glad you thought to query the list about her. Beth Learn Toronto, Ontario Philip M.
