Early life
Born in Walker, Minnesota, Welsh was a daughter of a lumberman. In 1938, she married Lawrence Miller Cook, a drama student from Ohio. Their life together was short and they soon separated. After the separation, Mary moved to Chicago and began working at the Chicago Daily News, where she met Will Lang Jr. The two formed a fast friendship and worked together on several assignments. A career move presented itself during a vacation trip to London, when Mary started a new job at the London Daily Express. The position soon brought her assignments in Paris during the years preceding World War II.[1]

As a journalist covering World War II
After the fall of France in 1940, Welsh returned to London as a base to cover the events of the War.[2] She also attended and reported on the press conferences of Winston Churchill.[2]

It was during the war years that she married her second husband, Australian journalist Noel Monks.[1]

Marriage to Ernest Hemingway

Mary and Ernest Hemingway in Cuba
In 1944, Welsh met American author Ernest Hemingway while covering the war in London, and they became intimate. In 1945, she divorced Noel Monks, and in March 1946, she married Hemingway in a ceremony in Cuba.[2]

In August 1946, Welsh had a miscarriage due to an ectopic pregnancy.[citation needed]

After their wedding, Mary lived with Hemingway in Cuba for many years and, after 1959, in Ketchum, Idaho.[2] In 1958, while still in Cuba, she appeared in a non-speaking role, along with her husband, in cameo appearances made by them in John Sturges's film version of Hemingway's 1952 novella, The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway portrayed a gambler in the film, and Mary an American tourist.[3]

It was after they had moved to Ketchum, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, that Mary was awakened by a loud noise, and discovered that her husband had "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun.[4] According to biographer James Mellows, Hemingway had unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, gone upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and with the "double-barreled shotgun that he had used so often it might have been a friend", had shot himself.[5] Mary and other family members and friends initially told the press that the death had been "accidental",[2] but in an interview with the press five years later, Mary admitted that Hemingway had committed suicide.[6]

Later life
Following Hemingway's suicide in 1961, Mary acted as his literary executor, and was responsible for the publication of A Moveable Feast, Islands in the Stream, The Garden of Eden, and other posthumous works. She gave the manuscript of A Moveable Feast to Tatiana Kudriavtseva, a translator from the Soviet Union, who was able then to publish a Russian translation simultaneous with the original's publication in English.[7]

In 1976, she wrote her autobiography, How It Was. Further biographical details of Mary Welsh Hemingway can be found in the numerous Hemingway biographies, and in Bernice Kert's The Hemingway Women.[2]

In her later years, Mary moved to New York City, where she lived in an apartment on 65th Street. After a prolonged illness, she died in St. Luke’s Hospital at age 78, on November 26, 1986. In her will, she had stipulated that she be buried in Ketchum next to Hemingway, where they are now interred together.[1][8]
