Edith Evans Asbury (June 30, 1910 – October 30, 2008) was an award-winning journalist who spent nearly thirty years as a reporter with ''The New York Times''.〔 ==Biography== Born Edith Snyder on June 30, 1910, in New Boston, Ohio, she was the eldest of 16 children.〔 After a summer job at the ''Cincinnati Times-Star'' at age 19, she left Western College for Women with a passion for journalism that would last most of her life. She married Joe Evans when she was 20 and the couple moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where she attended the University of Tennessee, receiving bachelor's and master's degrees in American history in 1932 and 1933 respectively. She took a job as a reporter with the ''Knoxville News Sentinel'' from 1933 to 1937.〔Fox, Margalit. ("Edith Evans Asbury, 98, Veteran Times Reporter, Is Dead" ), ''The New York Times'', October 30, 2008, with correction added November 5, 2008. Accessed November 5, 2008.〕 In 1937, at the height of the Great Depression, she left Knoxville and her husband (whom she later divorced) and headed to Manhattan despite the lack of any pre-planned prospects for work and wired her editor that she was quitting her job. In New York, she found a sequence of jobs with the ''New York Post'', the New York City Housing Authority, the ''Associated Press'' and the ''New York World-Telegram and Sun'', where she served as assistant editor for women's news.〔 While at the World-Telegram in 1952, Asbury was elected President of the New York Newspaper Women's Club.〔Staff. ("NEWSPAPER WOMEN ELECT; Mrs. Edith Evans Asbury of The World-Telegram Is President" ), ''The New York Times'', May 22, 1952. Accessed October 31, 2008.〕 She married journalist Herbert Asbury in 1945; the two divorced in 1958. It was the second marriage for both. Her husband was best known for his 1928 book ''The Gangs of New York'', which was later adapted as a screenplay for the 2002 Martin Scorsese film. Her 1971 marriage to ''Times'' assistant managing editor Robert E. Garst ended with his death in 1980.〔
