|description=American Theosophist, writer and lecturer, born in Pennsylvania; discovered Theosophy in 1886. Contributed to ''The Path'' from its early issues under several pseudonyms, including "Julius," under which she published [[Keightley J - The Singing Silences|"The Singing Silences"]] (August 1886), [[Keightley J - Reticence of Mahatmas and Evolution of the Individual|"Reticence of Mahatmas and Evolution of the Individual"]] (September 1886), Part II of [[Baxter S Judge WQ - Poetical Occultism|"Poetical Occultism"]] (November 1886; Part I, October 1886, was signed jointly "S. B. J." by Sylvester Baxter and W. Q. Judge), and [[Keightley J - Tea Table Talk|"Tea Table Talk"]] (a recurring column, December 1886 to April 1887 and continuing). Printed signature "J——" on [[Keightley J - Lines from Lower Levels|"Lines from Lower Levels"]] (December 1886) stood for her pseudonym "Jasper Niemand," confirmed by her full signature "Jasper Niemand, F. T. S." on [[Keightley J - Rotation Individual Evolution|"Rotation—Individual Evolution"]] (January 1887) — showing that pseudonym was already in use well before 1891, though her best-known work under it, "Letters That Have Helped Me," did not begin until that year, after her marriage to Dr. Archibald Keightley. Under the same pseudonym, also wrote [[Keightley J - Heralds from the Unseen|"Heralds from the Unseen"]] (March-April 1887). Under her own married name of the time, "J. Campbell Ver Planck," wrote the short story [[Keightley J - Nature's Scholar|"Nature's Scholar"]] (October 1887).
