Note: THIS IS THE OBIT FOR HER SISTER, A WRITER OF NOVELS
Elizabeth Squire, 74, reporter and novelist
Elizabeth Daniels Squire of Maney Branch Road, Weaverville, N.C., a former reporter for this paper who became a popular mystery novelist, died unexpectedly Sunday morning, Feb. 25, in Santa Rosa, Calif., where she had stopped on her return from a business trip to Alaska. She was 74 years old and the wife of C.B. “Chick” Squire.
Mrs. Squire was the author of eight mysteries and was at work on a ninth at the time of her death. She had been attending a mystery writing convention in Anchorage and had conducted workshops in Skagway, Alaska with creative writing groups in the junior and senior high schools there.
A native of Raleigh and a graduate of Ashley Hall School in Charleston, S.C., and of Vassar College, Mrs. Squire was the daughter of Jonathan Daniels, former press secretary to President Truman, and a granddaughter of Josephus Daniels, editor of The News & Observer in Raleigh and ambassador to Mexico during the Roosevelt administration.
She spent most of her life writing for newspapers, and a newspaper publisher was the victim in her first mystery, Kill the Messenger, published in 1990.
Since then, Mrs. Squire published seven mysteries in the Peaches Dann series, dealing with an absent-minded detective who lives, likes Mrs. Squire did, in western North Carolina. All are in print and several have been published in large-print editions. She also authored a number of short stories, one of which won the coveted Agatha award.
She had also written books on phrenology and palmistry, and was considered an expert on palm reading.
Mrs. Squire had served as chairman of the board of trustees of the Weaverville Library and as a director of the News & Observer Publishing Co. in Raleigh.
From 1966 until she moved to North Carolina in 1979, Mrs. Squire was a staff reporter for The Redding Pilot, and also wrote features for The Ridgefield Press and The Wilton Bulletin where her husband, Chick Squire, was editor more than 50 years ago. Mrs. Squire also wrote the cooking column that appeared in all of the Acorn Press newspapers for many years.
Mrs. Squire, who never lost her North Carolina lilt in her years living in the North, was a thorough and careful reporter who overcame dyslexia by developing strategies that would later be sprinkled throughout her Peaches Dann mysteries. “Liz,” as she was known to all, delighted in developing memory aids, from the simple note taped to the office doorway that said “Coffeepot” (as in, Remember to turn off...) to much more elaborate schemes. In recent years, she embraced technology, using an electronic organizer to keep track of her busy schedule.
The Squires had had homes in Wilton, Redding and Ridgefield over the years. They had been active supporters of the Mark Twain Library during their years in Redding,
She was a member of the North Caroliniana Society, Sisters in Crime, and was a past chairman of the Southeastern Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Squire is survived by three sons, Jonathan Hart Squire of Weaverville, Mark M. Squire of Sebastopol, Calif., whom she was visiting at the time of her death, and Worth P. Squire of College Grove, Tenn., as well as seven grandchildren. Her sisters, Adelaide Daniels Key of Asheville, Dr. Lucy Daniels of Raleigh and Cleves Daniels Weber of Maui, Hawaii, also survive.
A memorial service for Mrs. Squire took place at Grace Episcopal Church in Asheville on Tuesday afternoon.
Contributions in her memory may be sent to the Asheville-Buncombe Community Christian Ministries at 30 Cumberland Ave., Asheville, NC 28801.
