I'm no copyright lawyer, but if I understand this correctly then JESSICA TARLETON RAINS renewed the copyright on Marie's book on 10Aug65. It's likely that Jessica was a relation of Marie's. Vera Neville was the artist. http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/gutenberg/1/1/8/3/11832/11832-8.txt Kathy -----Original Message----- From: srieck5639@aol.com [mailto:srieck5639@aol.com] Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 10:16 PM To: KYMASON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYMASON-L] Marie Curtis Rains Looking for info on Marie Curtis Rains, the author of a children's book, "Lazy Liza Lizard," published in 1938. I'm pretty sure she was the child of John Marshall Rains and Frances Ann Tarleton. Looking for birth date, date of death, was she married and did she have children? ==== KYMASON Mailing List ==== List problems? First, read the Welcome Message that you received when you subscribed.
