I don't know, but, in case it's a lead, a 1938 copyright lists her (Etta Au=
stin Blaisdell McDonald) as living in Mount Dora, Florida.

Can anyone help me to determine the death year of Etta Blaisdell McDonald, =
who was born in 1872 and, under the name of Clara Murray, published The Wid=
e Awake Primer and other books in the early 20th century?  I believe she or=
iginated the quote "Run, Spot, run! See Spot run."
