| Notes |
- Jean grew up in Sugar Grove PA. Her mother died when she was 12 years old, and Jean had to help take care of her two younger brothers. After high school, she worked for a year, before going to Ohio Weslyan in Delaware, Ohio, where she majored in English. After graduating, she was campaigning for Norman Thomas, a socialist presidential candidate in 1940, when Ernest Morgan (son Arthur Morgan) introduced her to Ben Hudson. They married a few months later. She worked while Ben completed his degree, and then had her three sons, in 1945, 47, and 49. After moving back to Ohio from Wyoming in 1950, the family lived in Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Taiwan, Jordan, Pakistan, Tunisia, Senegal, Oman, Phillipines, and Somalia. She became unexpectedly pregnant when she was 50, and decided to chance it as she always wanted a daughter, and the risk paid off, as Holly was delivered without complication. Jean periodically worked as a teacher, secretary, and at a few other jobs, but her main love was writing. She published Rivers of Time, and wrote a number of other superb novels, some plays and short stories, winning a number of prizes. In the later part of her life, she was elected, by a landslide, the first woman mayor of Yellow Springs. After her death from cancer in 1992, her son Rex edited and published her poetry, Foreverness. Jean was not only an unusually intelligent and loving person, but also a very spiritual person, in her own private way. One person remarked after her passing that she had shed a great light her entire community.
