    Cledith Cassidy Tolbert

    Cledith Cassidy Tolbert was born with a pencil in her hand. She printed her poems before she learned to write. By age 14, she was writing club reports, society news, and community events for the French Lick newspaper, The Springs Valley Herald, owned by J. E. Gruber. She would later become a reporter, news writer, proof reader and news editor for that same paper where she spent 25 years. She has written plays spoofing the school days of yore. Many were staged by her school mates and some, written for West Baden Alumni Banquets, were performed by former teachers to the delight of those present. For a number of years Cledith was a reporter and feature writer for the Louisville, Kentucky Courier-Journal newspaper and the Indianapolis Star. For two years she was a writer and assistant editor of Homespun, a Paoli, Indiana magazine founded by Clifford and Billie Cox. Her poems and feature articles have been published in numerous other publications. Some of her writings make up a book, Jims and Jewels which includes humorous and poignant items from her years of newspaper experience. A second book, Browsing Through the Tree Leaves, published in 2008, was a book of childhood recollections. Most of the author’s life was spent in Southern Indiana. She passed away in March of 2012 still living on her great-grandparents ing farm near French Lick, IN.
