| Margaret Flint (Jacobs) (1891-1961) |
|||||||||
| Margaret Flint was a novelist who wrote under her maiden name. She was born in Orono, Maine, attended high school in Port Deposit, Maryland, and took classes at the University of Maine for three years until her marriage to Lester Warner Jacobs. In 1937 she won $10,000 for her novel, The Old Ashburn Place, which was named best novel of the year in a national competition (the Dodd Meade Provincial Review). She wrote several books afterward, but never achieved the success she had hoped she would attain. Three sons and two daughters are left to carry on Margaret's legacy. | |||||||||
