Jennie Maria Drinkwater was born on April 12, 1841 in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. She was the daughter of Captain Levi P. and Mary Jane (Angus) Drinkwater.
Drinkwater was educated in the public schools and at Grccnlcaf’s Institute, Brooklyn, New York.
Beginning to write for the religious press when Jennie Maria was young, she later became widely known through her novels for young people, especially for girls, published un- Dripps der her maiden name.
Between 1880 and 1900 more than thirty of these came from her pen.
They were written to further the moral and spiritual welfare of their readers, and were preeminently suitable for Sunday-school libraries.
Young people of their day found them interesting, however, and some of them went through several editions of 30, 000 each.
Among them arc: Tessa Wadsworth’s Discipline (1879); Electa (1881) ; Bek’s First Corner (1883) ; The Fairfax Girls (1886); From Flax to Linen (1888) ; Marigold (1889) ; Second Best (1891) ; Looking Seaward (1893); Goldenrod Farm (1897) ; Shar Burbank (1898).
In 1874 she conceived the idea of sympathy, encouragement, and comfort for invalids through correspondence.
This resulted in the Shut-in-Society, which grew rapidly and in 1885 was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York.
Mrs. Conklin was its first president, and its honorary president at her death.
