| 520 | _a"A brief narrative of the life of Mrs. Adele M. Jewel (being deaf and dumb) by Jewel is an autobiographical memoir written in the late 19th century. It relates the lived experience of a deaf woman in America, combining personal history, travel notes, religious reflection, and a frank appeal for sympathy and support. The narrative follows the author from a deaf childhood in Cincinnati, Detroit, and rural Michigan—marked by close friendships, a near-fatal encounter with a pet bear, and accidentally burning the family home—to early grief over her father’s and a friend’s deaths and a hard-won Christian faith. Struggling to learn in common schools, she discovers sign language through another deaf woman, studies at the Flint school for the deaf, and must withdraw after losing sight in one eye. She recounts travels to Niagara and through New York State, marveling at nature, public feats, and institutions serving deaf and blind children, and visits scattered family. Interwoven are notes of practical help from kind strangers and her own efforts to publish the booklet to support herself and her ailing mother. Later pages describe an unhappy marriage that leaves her with three small children (the eldest also deaf), her membership in a Baptist church, and life in Ann Arbor. The book closes as a modest, dignified appeal for readers’ understanding and assistance. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
