About the author
Born in Kentucky on October 7, 1877, Lillian Nicholson Shearon was an American writer and actress whose career touched both literature and early film. Available records connect her with the silent-era titles Sam Davis, the Hero of Tennessee (1915) and A Mute Appeal (1917), showing that her work reached beyond books alone.
She is also remembered as the author of Meek Miss Mattie (1913), The Little Mixer (1922), and The Other Little Mustard Seed (1930). Her writing is still of interest today largely because these books survived in reprints, library catalogs, and public-domain archives, giving modern readers a window into popular storytelling from her era.
Shearon died in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 27, 1961. Although only limited biographical detail is easy to confirm today, her body of work suggests a versatile creative life shaped by both print culture and the fast-growing world of early American cinema.
