Elizabeth Moorhead Vermorcken

[edit]

If anyone starts an article on Elizabeth Moorhead, I found an article in the Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine that gives some biographical notes and background on this writer, in the context of her book about Willa Cather, "These Too Were Here": https://journals.psu.edu/wph/article/download/3762/3580

Also, letters from Cather to Moorhead: http://www.worldcat.org/title/autograph-letters-signed-9-and-typed-letter-signed-1-to-elizabeth-moorhead-vermorcken/oclc/270863365 and https://cather.unl.edu/letters.html?_person=Vermorcken%2C%20Elizabeth%20Moorhead and https://cather.unl.edu/letters.html?_person=Hitler%2C%20Adolf

Her grandfather was a Congressman from Pittsburgh, re https://www.abaa.org/blog/post/Carnegie-Library-Theft-index

Possible genealogy:
