Biography
[edit]Robert Hansell Baugh was the son of Atha Thomas Baugh (1855–1934) and Maggie May McCord Baugh (1867–1956) of Pulaski, Tennessee. The family moved to Atlanta, Georgia when Baugh was young, and he graduated as valedictorian and senior class president from the University School for Boys in 1921.[1] He would then enroll at Emory University.[2] He worked from 1925 to 1930 for the United States Rubber Company as assistant editor in the publicity and publication department. As part of this job, he traveled to Sumatra and Malay making an educational film about the growing of rubber on rubber plantations.
Other jobs included secretary at Lawson General Hospital, an Army hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, and librarian for the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Institute of General Semantics in Connecticut. He was also a book reviewer and freelance writer. A close friend of author Frances Newman, Baugh edited her letters after Newman's death.
