Autorenporträt

Carolyn Scanlon Newton McLendon was a true Mississippian, a Southern Lady who worked in various jobs throughout her working life. She was born and reared in Columbus and lived and worked in Jackson. After graduating from the W (Mississippi College for Women), she taught second grade one year and was hired as a reporter by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger for two years. She and her husband, Donald W. Newton Sr., established an advertising agency, and she wrote advertising for fourteen years. After their divorce, she set up her own travel agency and conducted tours of Mississippi and, later, tours of Europe for fifteen years and wrote two travel books: Outdoor Mississippi by Carolyn Newton, 1974 and Meet Mississippi by Carolyn Newton and Patricia H. Coggin, 1976. For eight years, she was general manager of the Mississippi Symphony, arranging for concerts and handling finances, and worked eight years for the Mississippi Library. In her spare time, she was editor of the monthly Mississippi Episcopalian newspaper. She had one daughter and two sons and eight grandchildren. She died in Jackson in 2013.
