A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Scott, Julia H.
SCOTT, JULIA H.,
Was born in 1809, in the northern part of Pennsylvania. Her maiden name was Kinney. She began to write verses when she was very young, and her first pieces were published when she was little more than sixteen. For several years Miss Kinney continued to write with much ability for several of the different periodicals. In 1835 she was married to David L. Scott, of Towanda, where she died in 1842. Her poems, together with a biography of the writer, by Miss S. C. Edgarton, were published in 1843. Her songs are those of "the household;" full of gentle and feminine feeling and tender pathos.
