She married JAMES LIDE COKER III 27 Sep 1930 in Darlington County, South Carolina, son of JAMES COKER and VIVIAN GAY. He was born 21 Jul 1904 in Hartsville, Darlington County, South Carolina, and died 16 Feb 1961 in Hartsville, Darlington County, South Carolina.
Notes for ELIZABETH MOORE BOATWRIGHT:
Elizabeth Moore Boatwright Coker was born on April 21, 1909, in Darlington, South Carolina, the
daughter of Purvis Jenkins and Bessie (Heard) Boatwright. She attended St. John’s High
School in Darlington and graduated from Converse College in 1929. As a child, Elizabeth
dreamt of becoming a dancer; she even won a “Charleston” dance contest in Myrtle Beach as a
teenager. Her second ambition, though, was to become a poet. She came to this realization
when, at the age of fourteen, as punishment for daydreaming in class, she was ordered to write
down her dream. The result was a poem entitled “Noches” about two cowboys returning home
from a rodeo. For this effort, she won the Skylark Prize, given each year by the Charleston
Poetry Society for best verse by a high school student. During the remainder of her high school
years, she won several other regional and national scholarship awards for her musings.
While at Converse College, Elizabeth was a regular contributor to The Concept, the student literary magazine. In her senior year, she served as the journal’s editor. Elizabeth showed literary promise; and her poems appeared in publications such as Harper’s, Munsey’s, The Saturday Evening Post, and College Humor. In 1928 her poem “Red Moon” won the Caroll Prize given by the Charleston Poetry Society for promising college verse. With prize money in hand, Elizabeth left for New York City after graduation. She hoped to find work as a writer for the New York Times; she survived by modeling hats and shoes. While in New York, Elizabeth met James Lide Coker III, of Hartsville, South Carolina, a recent Harvard Business School graduate and a former fraternity brother of her brother P.J. at the University of North Carolina. She and Jim soon became engaged and returned to South Carolina.
They married in 1930, and Elizabeth settled into her role as a corporate wife as Jim assumed the controlling reigns of his family’s company, Sonoco Products, in Hartsville. Their first child, Penelope, was born in 1932. Elizabeth continued to write poetry and short stories during the 1930s. The family vacationed in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, during the summer of 1937, where Elizabeth also attended the Blowing Rock Writers’ Conference. Elizabeth met many southern writers with whom she shared her writing. Her confidence grew, and she decided to pursue her writing interests. During the summer of 1938, she attended the prestigious Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference sponsored by Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. Supposedly, Robert Frost critiqued some of her work and encouraged her to continue writing.
The Coker’s second child, a son – James Lide Coker IV – was born in 1941. During the 1940s, Elizabeth continued to hone her writing skills as she raised her children. She also assumed a very active role with the Hartsville community; she was active in many social and civic organizations and associations. In addition, as the wife of an executive, she traveled frequently with Jim on company business. She maintained extensive journals of the trips: in time, many of these travels figured into her novels.
In 1947 Elizabeth finished a short story about a young slave girl (the progeny of a male plantation owner and a female slave) who was wagered and won on a horse race. She showed the tale, “The Red Filly,” to Glen Mullin, the head of Columbia University’s Creative Writing program. He encouraged her to develop the story into a novel and mentored her throughout the creative process. In 1950 E.P. Dutton and Company published Elizabeth’s first novel, Daughter of Strangers, the outgrowth of “The Red Filly.” It was listed on the New York Times Best Seller List for several months. It was also a book club selection, and Heinneman Publishers published it in England. It was later published in paperback by Dell Publishing. Thus, Elizabeth Boatwright Coker’s writing career commenced. Between 1952 and 1981, Elizabeth wrote and published eight more historical novels:
Daughters of Strangers, 1950
The Day of the Peacock, 1952
India Allan, 1953
The Big Drum, 1957
La Belle, 1959
Lady Rich, 1963
The Bees: A Story of a Family, 1968
This is Billie Boy, 1973
Blood Red Roses, 1977
The Grasshopper King, 1981
Elizabeth was able to combine her interests in history, research, and story telling. Beneath each book’s overlay of romanticized plot lines, there was a great deal of solid, fact-based research. She often found inspiration in old diaries, letters, and in her travels. She traveled to England, Mexico, and Kenya (among other locales). More often, she drew on the rich and complex history of her home state.
In 1955 Jim was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent radical surgery and battled his illness for six years. He continued to work, and he and Elizabeth traveled all over the world. These trips were part vacation, part therapy, and part research. In 1961, after a valiant struggle, Jim succumbed to his illness. Elizabeth sought solace in research, writing, and traveling. The publication of her sixth novel, Lady Rich, in 1963 was bittersweet: she and Jim had traveled throughout Europe towards the end of his life as she researched the book.
In addition to her novels, Elizabeth wrote many poems, short stories, and essays. Of significance was her short story, “The Wishing Bone,” which won two awards in the 1963 International P.E.N. competition: a third place international prize and a first place American award. In 1973 Elizabeth composed “This Is Billy Boy,” the tale of a young, mentally disabled boy’s relationship with his family, as a gift to the South Carolina Association for Retarded Children. In 1978, Elizabeth collaborated with her niece, Ann Boatwright Igoe, to publish The Charleston Coloring Book, which remains popular to this day.
Elizabeth also delivered many addresses to a variety of audiences; she enjoyed speaking to those interested in hearing about the writing process. She often spoke to young elementary and high school students and was a popular commencement speaker for both high schools and colleges in South Carolina. From 1971 to 1972 she served as an associate visiting professor at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She often guest taught at Converse College and Coker College. Elizabeth received honorary degrees from Coker and Converse Colleges -- institutions in which she had personal interest and to which she dedicated a great deal of time and energy. She was a lifetime trustee at Converse College and returned to her alma mater several times a year for various functions. She donated a large portion of her personal library to Converse in the early 1980s. Elizabeth adopted Coker College as a sort of second alma mater. Coker College, which was founded by her husband’s ancestors, meant a great deal to her, and she never hesitated to aid the institution in any way she could. In fact, Coker College posthumously named its performing arts center after her in 1997: the Elizabeth Boatwright Coker Performing Arts Center, as it is named, is a community center for many educational and cultural events.
Elizabeth sited several influences and mentors with whom she developed lasting friendships. Among them were Hershchell Brickell, Hodding Carter, Jonathan Daniels, Clifford Dowdey, Frank Durham, Inglis Fletcher, John Jakes, Floyd McGowan, James Michener, Charles Morgan, Ogden Nash, Julia Peterkin, Walter Spearman, and Hudson Strode.
Elizabeth also found time to involve herself in a variety of organizations, including the following:
American Association of University Women
American Republicans Club
Author’s Guild
Blowing Rock Horse Association
Converse College Board of Trustees
Episcopalian Club
Garden Club of America
Hartsville School Board
Medical College of Pennsylvania
National Academy of Poets

Pee Dee Heritage Society
Poetry Society of Georgia
St. John’s Heritage Foundation of Darlington
South Carolina Academy of Authors
South Carolina Poetry Society
South Carolina State Museum
United Cerebral Palsy of South Carolina

Elizabeth was inducted into the South Carolina Academy of Authors in 1991 and into the South Carolina Hall of Fame in 1992. She died in a Hartsville, South Carolina, hospital on September 1, 1993. At the time of her death, she was allegedly working on her tenth book.

Spring and her home church, Grace Episcopal, of which her Grandmother was a founder. She was a
member of the Garden Club of America and was President of the Palmetto Garden Club of South
