  • English Novelist and Poet

    Menella Bute Smedley was baptized as Menella Elisa Smedley. Some have suggested that the baptism is for a younger sibling that died near birth, but no death or burial record has been found, nor has another baptism record been found to indicate a second Menella was born about a year after the first.
