Biographical History
Miriam Hapgood DeWitt (1906-1990) was a writer from Provincetown, Mass.
Miriam Hapgood DeWitt (1906-1990) was the daughter of the journalists and authors Hutchins Hapgood (1869-1944) and Neith Boyce (1872-1951). She was born in Florence, Italy, on November 29, 1906, and, along with her siblings Harry Boyce (1901-1918), Charles Hutchins (1904-1982), and Beatrix (1910-1994), was raised in the family's homes in New York and Provincetown, Massachusetts. As an adult, she lived in Taos, New Mexico, through 1945, then in Washington, D.C., through 1979, after which she settled in Provincetown and resided there until her death on April 16, 1990. DeWitt worked briefly for the federal government while living in Washington; she also had a successful career as a painter. Her first marriage, to Edward Hamilton Bright (1894-1954) in 1930, produced two sons but ended in divorce; her second, in 1947 to the Croatian-born economist, writer, and educator Vaso Trivanovitch (ca. 1899-1949), ended with his death; and her third, in 1956 to the writer and Department of the Interior administrator John DeWitt (1910-1984), also ended in divorce.
