context_page_description: Florence Huntley was a 19th-century American journalist, editor, humorist, and occult author from Ohio.
  She married the writer Stanley Huntley in 1879 and during this marriage, she worked with him on his Spoopendyke sketches. After his death in 1886, she became a journalist and editor, working for several publications, including the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Tribune, The Washington Post, and Iowa City Republican. After meeting John E. Richardson, whom she married decades later, she worked on the Harmonic Series, a system of science and philosophy intended to connect the demonstrated and recorded knowledge of ancient spiritual schools with the discovered and published facts of the modern physical school of science. She was the author of The Dream Child, in 1892; Harmonics of Evolution, 1897. She was the editor of The Great Psychological Crime, 1903; The Destructive Principle of Nature In Individual Life, 1903; The Great Work, the Constructive Principle of Individual Life, 1907. She wrote approximately 70,000 letters. Huntley died in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1912.
context_section_description: Huntley was the brains behind Richardson's entire literary success—such as it was. She was an educated, trained, talented, successful newspaper woman; an altruist, a philosopher, a thinker, and a genius for dissecting and analyzing intricate psychological problems. Huntley edited everything of any merit that TK ever wrote. He produced nothing after "The Great Work," in 1906. Huntley and Richardson married on January 30, 1910, 23 years after their first meeting. For 18 years before the marriage, she had lived with an intense devotion to what she sincerely believed to be a great work for humanity.[Found later to be false see PDf 'For the Record']-> [But a short time before her death, she became aware of TK's real nature, the awful consequences of his destructive influences, together with her own part in carrying them out.] With this recognition, for several days, she wept, and finally on January 28, 1912, she began to experience a severe headache, a few hours later lapsing into unconsciousness which lasted nearly four days. She died at home in Oak Park, Illinois, on February 1, 1912.
