Helen Marr Hurd (February 2, 1839 – May 4, 1909) was an American teacher and poet of the long nineteenth century. Living with severe myopia, she taught in thirty schools—until her eyes made teaching impossible. Thereafter, she devoted her time to literary pursuits. She was the author of an illustrated volume of poems.^[1][2]
