Jennie Harris Oliver (March 18, 1864 – June 3, 1942) was an American writer.
Born in Lowell, Michigan, Oliver became a school teacher and moved to Oklahoma in 1892. She was the poet laureate of Oklahoma from 1940 to her death in 1942.[1] Her poems appeared in nationally circulated magazines such as Woman's World and Good Housekeeping, and her "Mokey Delano" stories were adapted by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer into the 1942 film Mokey, starring Donna Reed, Robert Blake, and Billie Thomas.[2] Oliver was extremely popular among Oklahoma writers and attracted many fellow authors to visit her at her home.[3] She died in Oklahoma City on June 3, 1942.
