Mildred was a long time resident of Grafton, Vermont and did much of her writing there. Amongst her 17 published books were: Winter Wheat....need more

Mrs. Schemm published 12 adult novels and one novel for young readers. Ten of the books were published between 1933 and 1955. (The 11th is entitled The Body of a Young Man.) Currently, all her fiction is being reprinted by Bison Books, the paperback imprint of the University of Nebraska Press, with new introductions by contemporary authors.

She was born in Philadelphia in 1905 and graduated magna cum laude in literature from Wells College in 1926. She married cardiologist Ferdinand Schemm in 1927. They lived in Michigan where she earned her master of arts degree in English in 1933. Her first novel, Fireweed, received the Hopwood Award from the University of Michigan - one of the most influential academic literary awards of that era.

The Schemms moved to Great Falls, Montana, in 1933. Four of her novels are set in that state: Unless the Wind Turns, Winter Wheat, The Curlew’s Cry, and If A Lion Could Talk.

Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Schemm returned to Wells in 1955 as a professor of English. In 1961-62 she was a Fulbright lecturer in Koyoto, Japan, and traveled to Sicily for a sabbatical in 1964. She also taught at the Breadloaf Writers Conference in Vermont. Her work The Southwest Corner inspired a play and television show.

She retired from Wells in 1968 and went to live at her family home in Grafton, Vermont. She moved to Missoula, Montana, in 1986 and then to Portland, Oregon, in 1990 where she died in 1998 at the age of 93. Wells edu wnnwar24.htm

If you want me to read a note, please leave it at the end of my talk page: if you leave a new note near the top of the page, I might not realise it at all. And please don't un-archive my talk page as you did.

As to Turner etc.: I don't always have time to examine all the people listed in every community; I watch every Vermont community, as well as almost every community in a dozen other states, so I don't always notice if there's someone who doesn't have an article if it's a blue link.

Regarding Alex Turner: we include (slave) because there are multiple Alex Turners, and listing by one's occupation (or onetime status, in this case) is the normal way to disambiguate such names. Because (slave) isn't at all a part of the guy's name, there's no reason for it to exist. Let me ask: why does he need to be listed in her entry at all? I didn't have time to look into it, but it's quite an abnormal thing to list people's relatives in a notable natives section unless the other person is someone quite famous, which I would guess Turner really isn't.

What is notability? Gavrilo Princip was, by all accounts, never more than a rejected, puny, weak teenager who couldn't shoot straight at a range of over 2 meters. But he is very notable.Hmose (talk) 10:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
