19th Century

Biography

Gilbert’s What Sound of Lof­ty Praise was pub­lished in Phi­la­del­phia, Penn­syl­van­ia, in 1868.

It seems like­ly she is po­et Isa­dore Gil­bert Jef­fery (1840–1919).

The po­et mar­ried M. J. Jef­fe­ry in 1878 (Wil­lard, p. 418), so her maid­en name in 1868 would have been Isa­dore Gil­bert.
