- Myrtle Reed was born in Norwood Park, Chicago, Illinois, the youngest of three children and the only daughter of author Elizabeth Armstrong Reed and her husband Hiram Vaughn Reed, a preacher. Myrtle attended West Division High School in Chicago, where she edited the school newspaper. After graduating from high school, she began publishing her poems and stories, first in The Acorn, a magazine catering to children. Soon she became a regular contributor to such periodicals as Munsey's, Harper's Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan.
Her debut novel, Love Letters of a Musician (1899) was well-received by the public. It was followed by two more novel in rapid succession. However, it was Lavender and Old Lace (1902), that established her as an author, and the book inspired a stage adaptation in 1938. President Theodore Roosevelt read her The Book of Clever Beasts (1904) and wrote her a letter in praise of it. Her nonfiction book Love Affairs of Literary Men (1907) included Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Thomas Carlyle, and Edgar Allan Poe. As a high school student, Myrtle began corresponding with James Sydney McCullough, a young Irish-Canadian newspaper editor in Toronto, and eventually married him in 1906 after a courtship that lasted nearly 15 years. Myrtle also wrote a series of cookbooks under the pseudonym Olive Green. Several of her works were published posthumously following her death of an overdose of sleep medication at age 37 in 1911.
