message: She was born in 1908, at age 32 married. That would be in 1940. Then she did a whole bunch of stuff, ending up in London, which included "assignments in Paris during the years preceding World War II."
Then "After the fall of France in 1940, Welsh returned to London to cover the events of the War"?
Even if the dates and the age are correct, the way it's written it looks like she needed a time machine to get things to line up.
This source (http://www.evesmag.com/hemingway.htm) says she married Monks, her second husband, in 1938, shortly after arriving in London. So the "at age 32 married" the first husband seems more than suspect.
Has anyone read her biography?

message: I took out the last phrase, which says she was buried "across the river and into the trees" from a location. This is a wink-wink, look how clever I am reference to one of Hemingway's books.Closedthursday (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Your "wink-wink" remark notwithstanding, the prospect of he and Mary one day being buried "across the river and into the trees" from their house in Ketchum, per his stated wishes, was something Hemingway told others he contemplated while writing his 1950 novel of the same name, and intimated to friends in Sun Valley as one source of his title (the phrase also said to have been the last words of Stonewall Jackson, another soldier like his Colonel Cantwell of the book -- perhaps Hemingway is the one deserving of your "wink-wink, look how clever I am" comment.) Have you read the Hemingway biographies? For that matter, have you ever read Across the River and into the Trees? Might make you less wink-wink about all this. I shall, however, not contest your taking the phrase out.  Life is too short (cf. aforesaid book) and some of us don't have nearly as much time on our hands as others for such parsing.
