Gertrude’s own upbringing was secondary to her mother’s primary goal of keeping her youthful good looks in order to attract a second husband, which she did, marrying John Uhlhorn in 1865 when Gertrude was eight years old.
Atherton also lost her original family home on Rincon hill in that fire, but by that time she had made homes everywhere, and it was no great loss to her.
Gertrude Atherton, limited in sympathy and in depth, nonetheless showed that a woman could earn her living by the pen and that being born on the Pacific margin of the United States was not an impediment to publication in New York and London.

 Gertrude Atherton -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (1857–1948) was an American writer.She was born in San Francisco and lived in California all her life.
Her husband discouraged her writing; and the serial publication of her first novel, The Randolphs of Redwoods (1882), though unsigned, scandalized her family.After her husbands death, in 1887, she was free to pursue her writing career, eventually writing 60 books and numerous articles.
Athertons first signed novel, What Dreams May Come, was published in 1888 under the pseudonym Frank Lin.Her novels often feature strong heroines who pursue independent lives, undoubtedly a reaction to her stifling married life.

Now largely forgotten, novelist and short story writer Atherton (1857-1948) at the height of her popularity often was ranked with Edith Wharton.
Snobbery, worship of power, narcissism and hunger for approval were flaws of a novelist whom Gertrude Stein befriended, Ambrose Bierce yearned for, and who believed herself to be a reincarnation of the Greek beauty Aspasia, consort of Pericles.
Atherton (1857-1948), who lived to be 90, produced more than 50 books, as well as other writings.

 The Creepy Columbarium containing Gertrude Atherton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
There are chairs here and there in which to relax.
What first brought me to Colma was the one paragraph on page 283 of Dr. Weirde's "A Guide To Mysterious San Francisco" saying that Gertrude Atherton, whose spirit is reportedly haunting The Atherton Mansion, is in this "mausoleum" that you need a secret Roman Numeral combination in order to obtain entrance.
Because of the difficulty I had in locating the building, due to the bad directions that Dr. Weirde had copied from Judy Culbertson and Tom Randall's book, "Permanent Californians: An Illustrated Guide to the Cemeteries of California", I surmised that none of them had ever actually been there.
