Description
Alice S. Deletombe, born in Gallipolis, OH on April 2, 1854, was a poet. Humble by nature, young Alice did not publicize her work and often wrote under a pseudonym.
In 1891, The Magazine of Poetry published her image, some of her poems, and a biographical sketch of Alice by W. Farrand Fetch, quitely likely same person who later wrote her sketch for A Woman of the Century.
Commenting on Alice's work, Fetch added:
"Miss Deletombe's poems are inspirations emotion more than reason, of heart not art, which well out of a warm, passionate, beauty-loving heart. As such, they are true poems of the soul, and in spite of some metrical defects, are too good to be lost to the world."
Two years later, the same periodical published her poem "At His Gate."
She also served as one of the many contributors to A Woman of the Century.
By 1903, Alice was writing for The Rosary, a periodical tied to her Catholic faith.
Alice passed away in Gallipolis on December 5, 1929 at age seventy-five. She was buried in Mound Hill Cemetery in Gallipolis.
