Gertrude Antonette Woodcock Seibert


Gertrude Antonette Woodcock Seibert is a familiar name to students of Watch Tower history. She was a poet, a compiler, and indefatigable letter writer for a good number of years. This series of three articles will review her history, especially her connection with certain famous Watch Tower publications.
         
The first article will cover her whole general history but will specifically focus on her involvement in the controversial volume The Finished Mystery (1917). This story has not been told before (other than earlier versions of this essay on other blogs). The second article will review her work on Poems of Dawn (1912). And the third article will review a time capsule she buried in 1910, that finally came to light during building work in 1948. Rather than rewrite these essays into one composite whole, it has been easier just to revise them slightly and republish them substantially as they originally appeared.
