This writer, the daughter of John W. and M. O. Colcord, was born in Hancock, Hillsboro County, N.H., in 1845. Her parents removed to Portland, Me., in her infancy, and that city has, with a few brief intervals, since been her home. She was educated in the public and private schools of the city, and at the State Normal School. Like her sister, Millie Colcord, she manifested a poetical taste at an early age; but excepting occasional fugitive pieces contributed to different journals over various signatures, her verses have been penned for personal friends and social gatherings, often including both words and music. For years she has been an earnest member of the Catholic (Cathedral) church in Portland, having charge of various choirs connected with the sodalities of that congregation.
-- The Poets of Maine, Griffith, 1888
The poems of this lady have appeared in the Boston Pilot, Zion's Advocate, Christian Mirror, and other publications. She is also represented in the Poets of Maine. One of her poems, My Sailor Boy, has been set to music and has become very popular.
