Inman, Pauline Winchester, 1904-1990

Pauline Winchester Inman was born March 24, 1904 in Chicago, to Rev. Dr. Benjamin and Pearl Gunn Winchester. A 1926 graduate of Smith College, she taught at Rye Country Day School and was head of the Chapin Middle School in New York City. She studied wood engraving at the Art Students League, Parsons School of Design, and Columbia University. Her works may be found in the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. She illustrated "The Down East Reader," "How To Know American Antiques," and "Antiques Guide to Decorative Arts." Inman's interest in family genealogy led her to contact a distant cousin in Portland, Oregon, Frances Knapp Morgan. They began corresponding in 1958 and continued until Morgan's death in 1965. In 1959 Morgan re-discovered her notes and manuscripts about the Tlingit Indians, collected during her residence in Sitka, Alaska from 1890-1893, which had been missing for almost 70 years. Inman and Morgan collaborated on a manuscript based on these notes. The manuscript was rejected for publication, as were several revisions with varying titles; the subject determined to be "too unfamiliar to have appeal for the great general public." Pauline Winchester Inman died January 16, 1990 in Newtown, Conn.
