Flossie Deane Craig was born in 1891 and is a native of Paragould, Arkansas. She lived in Little Rock, Arkansas; Louisville, Kentucky; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Harms Ending at Shiloh, Hahira, Georgia; Clan's Harbor at Bethany, Hahira, Georgia; and spent the last 31 years of her life at Crestwood Farms in Valdosta, Georgia. She was a prolific writer--poet, novelist and journalist--at her typewriter almost daily, though always meeting her responsibilities as a homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Her poetry and stories have appeared in many publications including: Kentucky Anthologists of Women's Poets (1928), American Lyric Poetry (1936), Louisville Courier Journal, Miami Herald, Hahira Gold Leaf, Valdosta Daily Times, Farm Journal, Progressive Farmer and Mind Digest. Once, after a fire that had destroyed what remained of her work (she had recently "cleansed" her work to start anew), she was haunted and beset by the ending of one such work: ...were I seized in bondage, and cast into prison...by all else forsaken.... Words, words, my faithful, exuberant and friendly companions, I still would have with me. ...and promptly sat down at her typewriter. She was spiritually attuned, well-read, an empathetic listener and a joy to talk with. So although we no longer have Flossie to converse with on this and that...we have boxes and boxes yet to go of her life's work. She lived and died courageously and at peace.
