JOSEPHINE SCRIBNER GATES
(1859-1930)

A very popular writer of childrens' books at the turn of the 19th-20th century was Josephine Scribner Gates. Josephine Scribner was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1859, the daughter of Charles H. Scribner, a Knox County lawyer. In 1869 the family moved to Toledo, Ohio. In 1881 Josephine married Charles Gates and spent the rest of her life in Toledo. Her brother, Harvey Scribner, a lawyer in Mount Vernon, was also a writer.

Through 1915 Mrs. Gates had written at least 23 books. She was known especially for her "Live Dolls" series. The doll theme developed the idea of dolls who came to life and behaved much the same as the children who played with them. She skillfully blended stories of fantasy with lessons in behavior. Many of the books were attractively illustrated by Virginia Keep. Josephine had one daughter, who most likely furnished the inspiration for many of the books.

Most of her books were published in several editions, some being combined into "omnibus" collections. Most of the titles are still available in the rare book market, and are very collectible.

Josephine Gates died in Toledo in 1930.
