  • Ardyth Kennelly (April 15, 1912 – January 19, 2005) was a female American novelist whose books were popular in the 1940s and 1950s. She was born in Glenada, Oregon on April 15 1912, and grew up in Glenada, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Albany, Oregon, graduating from Albany High School and from Oregon State College in 1933. In 1940 she married Dr. Egon V. Ullman of Portland, Oregon; she was widowed in 1962. She lived for 40 years in downtown Portland where she held occasional salons and hosted diverse gatherings of selected guests. Kennelly's greatest popular success is her first novel, The Peaceable Kingdom. Published in 1949, it introduces the household and social circle of a polygamous wife of Swedish extraction living in Salt Lake City at the turn of the century, just before polygamy is repudiated by the Mormon Church. She continued to write without submission for publication; one of her last projects being a play entitled "Last Rites for Barbie." Late in life she developed a second career as an artist, specializing in collages and mixed media constructions, with two major exhibits, the first at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery at the age of 84 (approximately 1996). An online record of her second exhibit, a showing of "collages and mixed-media installations" in the Mark Woolley gallery in Portland in August and September of 2000, is available. Toward the end of her life Kennelly moved to Vancouver to be near her sister, and died there in January 19, 2005 at the age of 92. (en)
