Life
Edith Jewell Bothwell Tull was born on August 3, 1889, in Yates Center, the seat of Woodson County, Kansas, and the Prairie Hay Capital of the World. At age twenty-two, she married Clarence Clyde Tull (1881-1968), an Indiana native recently removed to the University of Idaho, where he was an associate professor of English. Judging by Jewell's age (again, twenty-two), the date (June 13, 1912), and the place (Moscow, Idaho, the location of the university), I'm going to guess that she was a recent graduate of the University of Idaho who had caught the professor's eye. The couple made a honeymoon trip to Europe. Thereafter Jewell Bothwell Tull followed her husband in his teaching career, first to Dakota Wesleyan College in 1913 and eventually to Cornell College, located in Mount Vernon, Iowa. As a writer, Jewell contributed to the The Husk, the Cornell English Club review, and The Ollapod, the college humor magazine. She also wrote poems, short stories, and serials for Poetry, Woman's World, and The Farmer's Wife magazines. Her lone work for Weird Tales was the poem "Ghosts," published in the August 1930 issue of the magazine. Finally, Jewell Bothwell Tull authored two one-act plays, "The Slacker" (1917) and "The Forgotten Man" (1934), and a children's book, Sylvia of the Stubbles (1923).
