<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This

our application was just approved and an official state marker will be

here is to know Marie Edwards will be recognized alongside the other main

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> There was really little to go on
specific to Miami County, Indiana.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In a previous article, Stacy Mize
reported on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mabel Stark</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lillian Leitzel</b>, both also Hall of Fame
inductees. A 2020 <b>"Bandwagon"</b> article by<b> Kat Vecchio</b> shared a picture depicting the 1912 Madison Square Garden meeting when Miss Suffrage was christened. Lillian Leitzel appears to be on there. So was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Josie DeMott </b>who<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>may have made
a passing appearance here. Otherwise we have been left to wonder about our local circus ladies… Where were our Circus
suffragists?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Circus women had broken society’s
norms for what was expected proper behavior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were more liberated than other women, yet they remained voiceless
legally, in spite of having proven time and again they could match their male
counterparts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sells-Floto
administrators might have recognized their abilities and their usefulness but their women were still in the same predicament as all the others when it came to enjoying full
citizenship rights. They could not vote and so remained voiceless in government. Their concerns over education for their children, healthcare and fair treatment in daily life etc remained in the hands of men who were not always willing to hear them, let alone listen. They too needed new laws. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">She was born in Armagh, PA on May 15, 1890, daughter of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">James Johnston Tinkcom</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lydia Lowry</b>.

who were housewives. None appear to have

another Woman’s Club of the day where voting rights were discussed. </span></span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">In 1918, the <b>Woman's Franchise League </b>was continuing its work of recruiting although it had been combined with the additional responsibility of War Work. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">In Miami County, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>8,503 women</b></span>, 16y and up, registered with the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.miamicountyinworthremembering.org/military/WWI/Womenscards/index.html" target="_blank">Women's Section of the Council of Defense</a></span>, whose goal was to make an inventory of what "<b>Woman Power"</b> looked like within its 'borders'.

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">As early as March 1923, when
Congress passed an Act that recognized <i>“the
principle of equal compensation for equal work irrespective of sex”</i>, the
League felt caution should be observed in pushing what Maud Wood Park refers to
as the “so-called Equal Rights Amendment”<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">[15]</span></span></span></span></a>.<span> </span>It seemed to be more about not rocking the

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">In 1945, the Indianapolis Star
quoted then President of the League, Mrs. John K Goodwin: <i>“Passage of the Equal Rights Amendment does not necessarily mean equal
pay for equal work as the proponents of the legislation claim.<span> </span>Women will lose rather than gain by passage

numerous newspapers across the United States. Harper traveled extensively,
delivered lectures in support of women's rights, handled press relations for a

of the different departments; the editor of that paper seems to be at a loss

schools filled with grown up young men and women, as of questionable policy,
doubting their ability to govern… as to government, it is a complete success;

plainly or forcibly the lessons to classes.’</i>.”<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span></span></span></a></span>

what became of the women’s rights movement in Miami County between 1864 (after
Lizzie Bunnell retired The Mayflower) and 1914 (when the Peru Franchise League
was organized), I came across something in the Peru Republican of 7 May 1880.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bunker Hill Letter - </i></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">Mrs. Emma Molloy</span></i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, occupied the M E pulpit Sunday morning and delivered one of the best

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">At 2pm she spoke to the children, giving them an illustrated lecture on
the effect of alcohol on the human system. At 7 o’clock in the evening she
again addressed the people on the subject of temperance to a crowded house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been said that the temperance subject
is old and stale, and that its advocates can present nothing new on the
subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was not the case with Mrs.
Molloy, her theme was a new one replete with the strongest arguments of
prohibition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The suffrage and
prohibition petitions proposing an amendment to the State constitution, were
circulated in the audience and quite a number of signatures of voters were
obtained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs. Molloy is accompanied by

<p class="MsoNormal">Curiosity got the best of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Who was Emma Molloy?</span></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was not from Miami County, Indiana, that
much was easy to establish, but I never dreamed the story would take the turn
it did!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the Ness City Times<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span></span></span></a>,
Emma was born about 1838 not far from South Bend, IN, where she grew up. “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She was farmer’s girl, very smart and precocious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the age of 14 she married a man who died
of delirium tremens while their only child was lying sick with scarlet fever.”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They continue describing her as teaching school and doing
various things before meeting Edward Molloy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Contrary to what the paper reports, Edward Molloy was not quite a bit
older than Emma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On 28 November 1867<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span></span></span></a>,

in South Bend, IN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a newspaperman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He published a Democrat sheet in South Bend
until he moved to LaPorte where he published the LaPorte Herald<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span></span></span></a>
with his wife as his assistant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1870
census lists her as “editress”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is unsure what happened to their relationship but Emma
discovered she was a good speaker and as she became interested in temperance
work, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">she took to the rostrum as a red
ribbon lecturer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She traveled all over
this country and addressed large audiences in Europe</i>.”<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[6]</span></span></span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Ness City Times continues: “He – her husband – was an
excellent man and one of the best journalists of that day in the state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although they were not congenial and lived
unhappily, she went to work and learned the printer’s trade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was an expert and rapid type-setter…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She continued in this walk of life until the
crusade movement struck the country in 1873.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apparently this life suited her well and she is reported
organizing women in Elkhart and Fort Wayne and storming saloons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She left Edward Molloy to throw herself
completely in social activism.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ribbon movement began in 1877 and it provided the
ultimate channel for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks to
Schuyler Colfax, a zealous Methodist, she was introduced to and received the
endorsement of prominent clergymen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
brought her personal experience to the topic of temperance because of her first
husband and she could tell the story in vivid details<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[7]</span></span></span></span></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After she returned from Europe she secured a
contract with the Good Templars of Indiana and became a traveling lecturer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Fort Wayne Sentinel account depicts her in kinder words
- maybe out of respect for her husband - than the other papers where she is
described as lacking moral character.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The fact remains that her social activism led her to work in
prison reform and that is how she became acquainted with a certain inmate named

had divorced him after he was sent to prison. Emma Molloy managed to bring them
back together and they remarried after his release.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Emma Molloy gave the couple financial support as she
established the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Morning and Day of Reform</i></b> paper in Washington, KS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In April 1882 Emma Molloy also rescued three sisters, Cora,
Ida and Emma Lee by adopting them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
were scandalous rumors but otherwise the whole little clan seemed to get along
splendidly, until Sarah took her two sons and returned to Fort Wayne, IN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her chief complaint seemed to be that George
was nicer to Cora Lee and to Emma Molloy than he was to her.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cora and George married, after the first divorce papers were
presented – there had not been a second divorce – and George made his way back
to Fort Wayne to retrieve his sons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sarah came along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The newspapers
don’t tell whether Sarah was told about the bigamous marriage or not but she
never made it to the Molloy home that day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The boys had been left at the depot and George returned to the house
after dark.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sarah’s body was found 5 months later, at the bottom of a well
half a mile from the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was
indicted. So were Cora Lee and Emma Molloy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>George was acquitted but the mob lynched him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The women survived 2 years’ worth of trials
but the ordeal took its toll on them of course.</p>

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The Maston-McKinley Act would be challenged and on June 25<sup>th</sup>,

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The Peru Journal of Jun 27, 1917 states that: “<i>Women in Miami County who registered to vote

women to register Wednesday.”</i></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">In spite of the dispatches that women could register all day
Wednesday Clerk Berger insured that no Miami County women register after
Tuesday afternoon.<span> </span>There is no
registration record to give details and the paper only reports: “<i>Women were registering fast in Miami County,
according to reports. The local registration board refused to give out
statistical information however, and said only that ‘women are registering much

that: <i>“Registration by women for voting

<![endif]-->For 3 years now it has been my privilege to associate with <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Brenda Weaver</b></span>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">It feels as though we have known each other for much longer however,</span> and it is an
honor to call her friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Brenda had
just “retired” from her job at the courthouse and was looking to do something
to keep herself busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her love for Miami
County and for History brought her to one of the early meetings of Miami County
Indiana Worth Remembering in the winter of 2017.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I remember the
first time I met her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name was, of
course, familiar but I had not expected to meet a down to earth, approachable
lady.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She had come
to the Miami County Museum, dangling her purse, to join a discussion on how to
fill the 100 years’ gap in the history of Miami County.</p>
<p>What also
stood out was her unique way of saying things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Brenda speaks in striking images. She always has an old proverb or folksy
wisdom at the tip of her tongue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course I can’t think one
right now but her quotes always resonate truth and common sense! <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs-u6bLEr7zU04KcnwScl90Wlj3ieTC0e4YXpb60tPAA-lvSgVKCw7neIidyToF9oVITN_EZIuvtn86TsDsN5MqAtSq6FKPZGkr_BOYHFde8DptwhzrefISQMPRZDPNkqumG6caUBNhlk/s1168/jeanette+weaver2.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1168" data-original-width="890" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs-u6bLEr7zU04KcnwScl90Wlj3ieTC0e4YXpb60tPAA-lvSgVKCw7neIidyToF9oVITN_EZIuvtn86TsDsN5MqAtSq6FKPZGkr_BOYHFde8DptwhzrefISQMPRZDPNkqumG6caUBNhlk/w243-h318/jeanette+weaver2.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><p>Brenda is

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">- one in Marion: <b><u>The Afro-American League</u></b> was organized in June

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">In Peru we were able to find the names of 2 African American women: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cassie Hill</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mattie Moss</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cassie Hill had
moved away by the 1920 census but Mattie Moss was still here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very little is known about them however.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mattie Moss</b> was married to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Frank Moss, Ora Moss’ </b>brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mosses were a family of barbers and hairdressers

is how we learn that in 1917, after the Maston-McKinley Act gave partial suffrage
to the women of Indiana, Mattie registered to vote.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.miamicountyinworthremembering.org/military/WWI/Womenscards/womenregistrationcard2602.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="800" height="419" src="http://www.miamicountyinworthremembering.org/military/WWI/Womenscards/womenregistrationcard2602.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <a href="http://www.miamicountyinworthremembering.org/military/WWI/Womenscards/womenregistrationcard2602a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="800" height="419" src="http://www.miamicountyinworthremembering.org/military/WWI/Womenscards/womenregistrationcard2602a.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">We will recall how <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aaron Berger,</b>
the overzealous young County clerk, had stopped all women registrations in June 1917<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span></span></span></a>,
after Indianapolis <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Judge Thornton</b>
ruled against women voting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we know
Mattie had already registered in anticipation of casting her ballot for
delegates to the September 1917 Constitutional Convention. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would be declared illegal and the
suffrage law would be rescinded instead.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDkNUCcj5qPBQmZVaRbE5L-rw1OVVYAJndH45VfEmVnizmtNwkwnXOl_iTB_gLv3683jClQu7uk3-_iwqMeADdrmdTBxmJ3xXB9neiYzznIEnNAi5CFMQZQf2NO70j6KY3HXMyZ1lpKCU/s2048/Peru+Journal+27+Jun+1917+DSCN5523.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1202" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDkNUCcj5qPBQmZVaRbE5L-rw1OVVYAJndH45VfEmVnizmtNwkwnXOl_iTB_gLv3683jClQu7uk3-_iwqMeADdrmdTBxmJ3xXB9neiYzznIEnNAi5CFMQZQf2NO70j6KY3HXMyZ1lpKCU/w376-h640/Peru+Journal+27+Jun+1917+DSCN5523.JPG" width="376" /></a></div><p></p>

has ever been sacred, for I lost her when I was seventeen years old.<span> </span>Even at that age I was a child.<span> </span>I had just returned from boarding school as
carefree as a bird, and as happy, when this sorrow befell me.<span> </span>My pillow was wet with tears night after night.<span> </span>Like a bolt from a clear summer day the shock
came, which I often said and thought I could not have borne had I been less a
child.<span> </span>My friends were kind and I was
easily turned to the pleasures of youth, but I can never refrain from tears
when my thoughts are of my mother.<span> </span>She
has been a guardian angel all of my life.<span>

my blessed mother." </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ellen Cole Fetter, "My Autobiography"<br /></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOAP7eLhyphenhypheno744XA8gx1NkvVKCHmF7BYmr5Fv30IMypFfXjcBlhqSQgiBSRlEvZ6C_iBBDlZxGsKuiiAY2wHnui8Gn4c63zKJNusM2oASlJVkg6d-ArKdC0jLsb6xPYa1BBlgnM992qC9Y/s2048/Ellen+Cole+Fetter+Museum+pic1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="781" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOAP7eLhyphenhypheno744XA8gx1NkvVKCHmF7BYmr5Fv30IMypFfXjcBlhqSQgiBSRlEvZ6C_iBBDlZxGsKuiiAY2wHnui8Gn4c63zKJNusM2oASlJVkg6d-ArKdC0jLsb6xPYa1BBlgnM992qC9Y/w586-h781/Ellen+Cole+Fetter+Museum+pic1.jpg" width="586" /></a></i></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Fondly nicknamed "Aunt Ellen", she was “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the first native born Hoosier of her
immediate family</i>”, born in Peru, IN on April 15, 1837, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in a log cabin located on the lot at the
southwest corner of Broadway and Third Street</i>”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was the youngest child of Albert Cole and

and began an autobiography I could not wait to transcribe so as to better
absorb her story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How ever fascinating
her story was there was no mention of ever getting involved with the Woman’s
Suffrage movement, let alone specify anything about the Peru Franchise League.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Her obituary<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span></span></span></a>
confirmed she had indeed been connected and there was my clue: 1915.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Obituaries
are not always accurate however and so it was no surprise that after 2 hours of
flipping the pages of the Peru Republican, the most likely newspaper to include
anything about the Woman’s movement in those days, I decided to make my way
into 1914.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This is how
I discovered that on October 8, 1914, <b>Dr. Amelia Keller,</b> president of the <b>Woman’s
Suffrage League of Indiana </b>came to Peru and formed the <b>Peru Franchise League</b> in
the Assembly Room of the Peru Public Library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have mentioned in another article that there were sixteen women
present that day and that Ellen Cole Fetter was indeed voted the first
president of the league, with Mrs. R E Edwards (aka Marie Stuart Edwards) as
her First Vice President.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Only a few
articles and blurbs give some detail about their suffrage activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They continued to meet at the library every
two weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1915, Marie Edwards
succeeded Ellen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Ellen was
known as a “Club Woman” and indeed, her obituary says “she was a charter member
of the oldest surviving literary societies: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Drama League </b>and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Art
Clubs of Peru</b>.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She too enjoyed
performing in the theater and especially impressed audiences with her
interpretation of the “School Marm’, in the Methodist Church benefit production
of “Deestrict Skule” at the Peru Opera House on December 19 and 20. 1889. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She was a
member of the Episcopal Church like her mother and notes in her biography the
love her father had from singing in the Episcopal Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is possible he invested funds in building
the first Episcopal church.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In her
biography she describes the happy days of her youth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was the baby of the family with a nice
gap between her and her older siblings.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She recounts
growing up in Peru and seeing Miami Indians in their regalia mingling with the
rest of the population. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The squaws were neat in appearance, wearing
ruffled cape to their skirts and loads and loads of beads about their necks,
silver ornament in their ears and their noses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A broadcloth length, exquisitely ornamented with a mosaic of diamond-shaped
ribbons, was worn close about the hips and below the knees, and legging to match
with outside edges similarly worked, and moccasins of deer skin completed a
costume<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></b></span></span></span></a>,
which was not inartistic, except it necessitated a sort of pigeon-toed gait,
not worse however than the late fashions of tight skirts and high-heeled shoes</i>.”<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span></span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She also
recalls being particularly struck by “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a
pretty young squaw</i>” who “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">persistently
held her hand in front of her face, and moved it at such an angle that” she “never
succeeded in getting a full view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
had had her nose bitten off in a fight, it was said, and her pride was on guard
that the deformity should not be seen.”<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></b></span></span></span></a></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>She mentions boarding a flat boat when she was
15 (1850), on the Erie Canal on her way to school in Ohio: “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We embarked aboard what to our eyes was a
floating palace, … At the locks – when we bumped down, and then up – or sitting
on deck, there was the green country, with natives trudging or riding on the
other side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the bridges and the
shouts of ‘Bridge!’, when we ducked as we went under</i>.”<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span></span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Twenty-three
pages is all there is to the biography which seems to fizzle after her mother’s
death and marriage to Harry Fetter, but these pages are full of amazing
details of life in Peru and Miami County in those early days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many first hand accounts do we have about
the Miamis’ removal in 1845?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Her mother
meant the world to her and she was devastated when her widowed father
remarried, even before Ellen married.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">She broached
the Civil War.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her husband, Harry Fetter was
postmaster then. He too was an interesting person: photographer, bookshop keeper.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Her obituary
states that during the Civil War “she was active in the work of the <b>Christian
Sanitary Commission</b>”<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn13;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[13]</span></span></span></span></a>
in Miami County. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This
Commission filled the same basic needs the YMCA would during WWI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its purpose was to “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">care for, console and comfort the gallant men who have gone away from
the peace and plenty of their homes to endure the hardships of the march, the
strife of the battle and the tedium of the hospital</i>”<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn14;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[14]</span></span></span></span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In 2020, as part of the commemoration of the Centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, our group was encouraged to apply for an OCRA grant with the help of the local "Mainstreet" organization "Rediscover Downtown".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We wished to recognize and honor the memory of Marie Stuart Edwards with the realization of a bronze statue of her as a 12 y old, with her bike. As the first woman to be elected to the Board of Education in Peru, Marie Edwards had also become the first woman to become a trustee on the board of the Peru Public Library. This location was the ideal place for the statue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our application was successful and in spite of some difficult moments, the unveiling took place 26 August 2021. It was attended by the </span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lieutenant Governor Susan Crouch</b></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> and members of the Indiana Humanities, partnered with OCRA. Local dignitaries also attended but most important of all was the presence of Marie's grandsons. We had a chance to spend time at the cemetery with them and watch as they placed a WWI medallion on their grandfather's grave, honoring the man who made it possible for their grandmother to accomplish all she did.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg3lZsuO9CMSJFSJyCFtb3pvBZl26x2SIf4-0qBpn-vZFPd4y5GyyHJgtO_YcAUJi6FbWwWNyV0zB3o9U3gnZbMVU7-hSRG310TzwmWloiZKCycmMD9Mbbh8Ddu_jFunq4OJFfr7D3wJmAPiT8hFhE_QzbkfDEVqBWsxgWOZ7T8DuWZkyzDYDySPQ8=s3153" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2765" data-original-width="3153" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg3lZsuO9CMSJFSJyCFtb3pvBZl26x2SIf4-0qBpn-vZFPd4y5GyyHJgtO_YcAUJi6FbWwWNyV0zB3o9U3gnZbMVU7-hSRG310TzwmWloiZKCycmMD9Mbbh8Ddu_jFunq4OJFfr7D3wJmAPiT8hFhE_QzbkfDEVqBWsxgWOZ7T8DuWZkyzDYDySPQ8=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The library was all decked out thanks to the hard work of the Peru Library staff.

with great material on woman’s rights but the content has helped me gain a

words we still have are as relevant today as they were almost 150 years ago. During the Civil War she published, in Peru, IN, the only Women's rights newspaper in the country. She met the challenges head on but could not fight the odds.<br />

In May 1857, we find her purchasing a piece of
property from <b>Warren</b><b> and Ellen Mead </b>for $550 in cash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The property was located in downtown Peru, at
what is now known as 20 East 5th Street, next door to <b>The Miami County Sentinel</b> newspaper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is unclear whether she was already dreaming of
printing her own paper but things point to this being where she would do the actual printing of The Mayflower<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">. </span>She held on to
this piece of property until 1881, when she sold it to <b>Alexander Porter</b> for
$600. The building currently located at 20 East 5th is a newer building.<br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>

attended the 1853 National Women’s Rights Convention in Cleveland, Ohio and Amelia
had made a point to swing by Richmond to become better acquainted with Mary

it took a week for the press to travel the less than 100 miles from Peru to
Columbia City.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Her absence from Peru to oversee the work had also proven costly to her readership and in
January 1864 she was calling out to her earlier subscribers to return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, they didn’t return in numbers
large enough to sustain the operations and later that year the Mayflower
folded.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is thought the newspaper circulation dropped because
the cause of Woman’s suffrage had been surpassed by war
times concerns. Fewer original contributions along with more
reprinting of articles previously published elsewhere surely played a part in
the loss of readership, not discounting the difficulty in getting supplies.</div>

<b>Ambrose A Call,</b> founder of Algona.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She renamed it the <b>Upper Des Moines</b> hoping it could gain a
regional appeal since no other county around had a paper of their own at the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She and her husband bought a light
wagon and a horse and together began canvassing the region to solicit
subscribers and advertisers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep in mind that in the 1860s, that section of Iowa was still fairly unsettled and the Reads had to blaze their own trail, through tall prairie
grass and around small lakes and sloughs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They made their way to county seats such as Peterson, Spirit Lake,
Estherville and what would later become Emmetsburg.</div>

The subscribers were interested in news about the outside
world. That news came by stage coach to Fort Dodge and in bad weather the stage
could only make a few trips each week and sometimes not at all. Between that and
trouble with the old press only 37 issues were printed from August 1865 to
November 1866.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The old press had indeed been purchased in 1850, brought by
riverboat and ox team from Cincinnati, Ohio to Des Moines, Iowa. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ambrose Call had hauled it to Algona years

difficulties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a new and sparsely
settled country, far away from supplies and with a meager support, … the
proprietor struggled on through thirty-seven numbers of the first volume.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was then a twenty-four column paper,
printed on old and badly worn type upon a Washington hand press</i>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In that same issue of 11 Dec 1872,
two notices on behalf of <b>Dr. Samuel G. A. Read</b>, Lizzie’s husband, request

in Algona, Iowa. The memory of what a formidable woman she had been already all but gone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her obituary was reprinted in the <b>Algona Upper Des Moines,</b>
on May 30<sup>th</sup> 1984 in the newspaper’s “75 Years Ago” column:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“<i>Tuesday J R Laird received a line from Fayetteville, Ark.
Stating that Mrs. Lizzie B Read died Sunday morning, May 16, and that the
remains would be brought to this city for burial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But little of Mrs. Read’s early life can be
learned at this time more than that her name Elizabeth Bunnell and was a native
of Indiana. She was married to Dr. Samuel George Alexander Read in 1863 in
Indiana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. and Mrs. Read arrived at
Algona July 4, 1865, and Mrs. Read at once took hold of the editorial
management of what was then known as the “Pioneer Press”, but which was changed
into the Upper Des Moines and finally merged into the present Upper Des
Moines-Republican.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs. Read had been a
resident of Arkansas for the past 12 years</i>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The words of <b>Harvey Ingham</b>, later publisher of the Upper Des Moines conclude for now:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"<i>Mrs. Read belonged to the advance guard of the new woman movement. She was an ardent advocate of the ballot for woman at a time when the notion was much more unpopular than it is now. While not apparently a woman of a wife range of sympathies, she was a woman of intellectual vigor, and was fearless and aggressive. She might easily have been a writer of distinction, for she had an appreciation of literary values. ... It is a pleasure, having known Mrs. Read, to speak in appreciation of her, now that she is gone. It is a pleasure to pay some slight tribute to the memory of one of the pioneers.</i>"<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8048199755091456602#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""calibri", sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">[17]</span></span></span></span></a> </div>

<span face="">Some anti-suffragists thought that granting women the right to vote would give women sway over certain social issues. For example, brewers and distillers feared that women voters would favor the prohibition of alcoholic beverages. Factory owners worried that women voters would support the drive for worker rights and labor regulations. Despite the opposition, and bolstered by the 1890 merger of the AWSA and NWSA, the women’s suffrage movement gained strength during the Progressive Era. As World War I threatened to once again slow the movement, a splinter group formed by <b>Alice Paul</b> resorted to more aggressive strategies than speech making and petitions to generate publicity. In 1917, Paul and her supporters picketed the White House. After their arrest for “obstructing traffic,” some of the group went on a hunger strike to protest their treatment and had to be force-fed in prison. But it was women’s contributions to the war effort that appeared to be best served by the suffragists’ cause, demonstrating that they were just as patriotic as men and deserved the full rights of citizenship. In 1918,<b> President Woodrow Wilson</b> finally recognized this, declaring that suffrage was essential to the war effort. Six months later, Congress passed the 19th Amendment. On August 26, 1920, it was signed into law, prohibiting states or the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens based on their sex.

<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">The women’s suffrage movement was to gain the right to vote for women in the United States. The first women’s rights convention in the United States was held in 1848 when a group of women and some men met in Seneca Falls, New York. The laws and customs of the time held that unmarried women could not vote, speak in public, hold office, attend college, or earn a living other than as teachers, domestics, seamstresses, or mill workers. Married women could not file lawsuits, divorce husbands (even abusive ones), hold custody of children, or own property. <b>The Seneca Falls Convention</b> passed a resolution in favor of women’s suffrage, but only by a small majority. Some delegates deemed the idea too extreme. A proposed constitutional amendment to win voting rights for African American males following the Civil War underscored the ideological rift in the women’s suffrage movement. In 1869, two groups formed. Susan B. Anthony and <b>Elizabeth Cady Stanton</b>’s National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) opposed passage of the 15th Amendment unless it included the vote for women. <b>Lucy Stone</b>’s American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) supported the African American right to vote as a necessity separate from the vote for women. </span>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Well behaved women rarely make history. Long before this phrase became popular, and long after the fight for the vote, circus women in the early 1900s knew all too well knew that saying was true. Able to make a living that was equal to, and sometimes even more than their male counterparts, they did what other women in civilized society couldn't do. It wasn't just the tricks and acrobatic acts they performed, nor was it the skimpy outfits and unladylike body movements. Circus women were able to make their own money, negotiate contracts, and demand certain salaries. Contracted work was usually limited to a year, which allowed performers to transfer between circuses, but bigger performers could secure multiple season contracts. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />In a time when most women were relegated to being housewives or maids. Circus women were performing and starring in their own acts, becoming the center of attention, where the taboo nature sold more tickets and earned them more money by the crowds they drew to their acts. There were even a few women such as <b>Mollie Bailey</b> and <b>Nellie Dutton</b> who became successful circuses owners. Common women on the street were to be discreet, not seen, or heard. Public speaking was ill-mannered at best in polite society. In an almost upside-down world, the female circus performers enjoyed a level of freedom no lady of society would ever see, but it was at a cost. Circus performers were looked down upon, women performers even more so. They were seen as circus freaks.<br /><br /></span></div>

After a few other countries had already gone through the struggle of recognizing women's right to vote, things went a little more smoothly for American women, even though it was feared that voting was bad for women's physical and mental health, as well as fertility. <br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">We often hear of <b>Susan B.

<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">It turns out that Barnum & Bailey's women performers were also very interested in women gaining the right to vote, as well as other rights like property rights. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">On Sunday, March 31, 1912, a group of (by some reports 25) female performers from the Barnum & Bailey Circus gathered in the animal menagerie at Madison Square Garden to talk about suffrage. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Among them was equestrian <b>May Wirth,</b> high wire performer <b>Victoria Codona</b>, bareback rider <b>Victoria Davenport</b>, the “female Hercules” <b>Katie Sandwina,</b> and many others. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">A Sacramento Union reporter wrote that “Alexander Sebert, husband of <b>Lillian Sebert</b>, a bareback rider, projected himself into the meeting, took his wife and her sister, Jennie Byram, and hustled them out of the menagerie room … Sebert shouted that he didn’t intend to let his wife take part in such nonsense.” <br /></span><br />

A week later, the ladies of the Barnum Bailey Circus was entertained at tea by the <b>Woman's Political Union </b>at its headquarters, 46 East Twenty-ninth Street. They eventually voted in leaders and hobbled together a plan for the circus women performers to be another arm in the outreach of passing the 19th amendment.

The skimpy outfits, over-the-top make-up, and unladylike feats of female circus performers sold more and more tickets. The rise of this new age saw an acceptance of women being as sexually passionate as men, and that leads to women being recognized as being equal to men in other ways as well. Showmen would usually bill female performers as being a member of an old and distinguished family troupe, preferably from Europe to quell the disapproving sentiments of woman circus performers being some sort of roving exhibitionist. European circuses were different than the tented traveling American Circuses. In Europe, women of the circus were of good broodstock.</font><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody>

In 1891, in her early 20s, Josie married Charles Robinson, a popular and wealthy son of a circus owner. She decided to leave the circus to support his political ambitions and made an uneasy attempt to fit into Victorian society. Admonished by the local pastor for riding past the church on her bicycle was an example of the things she had to endure, despising the confining clothing and stifled by the slow movements required of a lady. Her husband’s political career faltered, and he failed at prospecting for gold in Alaska. Still struggling to fit in, in 1905, finances were tight, and she had finally had enough. Josie decided to earn money the best way she knew how and returned to the circus. Mr. Bailey didn’t ask her to audition; her word and past reputation were enough to secure a job. <br />

<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />In her first rehearsal, she did one, two, three somersaults atop her mount perfectly. At the afternoon matinee, Josie was standing on the back of her horse, she leaped into the air — and the horse darted from under her, Josie fell onto the wooden ring. Her knee took the blow, and pain shot up her side. She finished the act with two fractured ribs and torn the ligaments surrounding her knee. She was told by the doctor that it would be eight months before she could walk on that leg again. Josie, on the other hand, intended to return to the ring as soon as possible, no matter what the doctor or her husband had to say. Charles who was against her return to the circus from the start,
gave her an ultimatum: give up on the circus, or you and I are finished.
For Robinson, the choice was simple. They “agreed to a definite
understanding, each to go our own way,” and she got back on the horse,
doctor’s orders be damned.</span><br />

May was the daughter of impoverished divorced parents Australian Marie Dezeppo (Beaumont) and John Edward Zinga (Despoges) from Mauritius, born in Bundaberg Queensland on June 6, 1894. May was adopted in 1901 after her parents separated, by Mary Wirth, and equestrian and sister of circus proprietors Philip and George Wirth, who all together were a well-established Australian circus family who owned the Wirth Brothers, one of Australia's largest circuses. When May opened as a center-ring star for Ringling Bros. in 1912, the newspapers didn't dwell on her early childhood (her indigent childhood was well known in Australia, and some rumored that she was an aboriginal), but instead depicted her as a member of an old foreign circus family.</span><br />

<span face="">At the age of ten, she was a "real trick rider." In Melbourne in 1906, aged twelve, she was billed as "May Ringling," the "American fearless hurricane hurdle rider." Like the most circus performers, bareback riders in particular, May was short but strong, growing to be about 5 feet tall. May was scouted by one of John Ringling’s talent scouts and was engaged in 1912 to tour the United States with the Barnum & Bailey circus, and billed as "The World's Greatest Bareback Rider". Opening season in Square Garden, her flic-flacs on horseback and her somersaults from horse to horse were indeed exceptional.</span><br />

<span face=""><br />Giving her performance at the new Hippodrome in Sydney, May was described as dainty, "like a butterfly in flight ... alive, alert" and delighted her audiences. In December 1916, May and her troupe sailed for San Francisco and entrained for Chicago in time to join the opening of Ringling Bros. Circus on April 7, 1917. She performed with Ringling Bros 1917-1918, and then another two seasons (1919-1920) with the newly combined Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey shows. In 1919 May married longtime associate and fellow performer Frank White. Frank had already been using May's name of "Wirth" for business dealings, so he took her last name. The Clipper of May 17, 1922, reported the Wirth troupe’s opening at London’s Coliseum and returning to New York, it was engaged as a $1,500-a-week extra attraction for Jean Bedini’s Chuckles. By 1924, the New York Times announced the construction of their home in the exclusive Forrest Hills district of Queens. Then the Wirth act headlined the Walter L. Main Circus in 1923 in Virginia. <br /><br />The four seasons from 1924 to 1927 were May’s last with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey (Winter of 1925-1926 they were touring Europe). After 1927, May and her troupe toured county fairs and indoor circuses. In the winter of 1931 her troupe was featured with the short-lived St. Leon Bros. Circus, partly owned by her husband, Frank Wirth, and her brother-in-law, Phil St Leon Wirth. May retired from active riding in 1937 and then traveled with her husband organizing circus spectacles throughout the United States. In 1956 they moved from their Long Island home to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. May received the supreme honor of the American circus world when on February 23, 1964, she was inducted to the Circus Hall of Fame. May, at eighty, regaled the audience with a sharp memory, told with a soft gentle voice and a hint of Australian accent, of the many tricks she did on horseback during her circus career. She died on 18 October 1978 at Sarasota.<br /><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><br />In
the circus, women's success came from good breeding and status, while men could climb the ladder from rags-to-riches, mobility was not allowed for the female performers. Regarding women's circus careers, talent was the determining factor for the salary level. Unmarried female performers were always referred to as being on the brink of getting married. The gossip columns were always full of romantic stories of women circus performers being swept off their feet by rich aristocrats.
These stories always highlighted the domesticity of the female
performers. Marriage was always good advertising opportunities, whether
it was female performers getting married, or animals. Many circuses
had strict behavior codes for female performers, designed not only to
convince audiences that the circus was a fun family attraction (and not
something seedy), but also to keep the trust of many families who sent
their young daughters off to perform. <br /><br />The woman circus performer was almost always described as preferring the domestic housewife role at home. They would often publish stories of the women circus performers anxiously awaiting the end of the season so that they could go home and do laundry and bake a cake. This helped keep the reputation of circus women siding with the respective side as much as possible. This tight-wire walk was no accident. Because in the center ring, these women transformed from housewives into spotlit acrobatic aerialists who captivated every member of the audience.<br /><br />The circus was a small step in the walk to Women's' Suffrage, just as women's suffrage was one small step towards Women's Equality.</span><b><span face=""> </span></b></span><span face="" style="text-align: center;">As </span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"><b>Josephine DeMott Robinson</b></span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"> said during the infamous March 31, 1912, Madison Square Garden meeting, when they named a </span><span face="" style="text-align: center;">baby giraffe</span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"> in a ceremony as </span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"><span><b>"Miss Suffrage"</b></span><font color="#674ea7">:</font></span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"> </span><span face="" style="text-align: center;"> "</span><i style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif; text-align: center;">You

Harriet Beecher Stowe has written a graphic description in the Atlantic Monthly of this wonderful preacher of righteousness.<br />
Ten years ago while traveling and "<i><span style="font-size: large;">testifyin' to de people</span></i>", she came to our home.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

I was present in a religious meeting where some speaker had alluded to the government of the United States, and had uttered sentiments in favor of its Constitution. Sojourner stood erect and tall, with her white turban on her head, and in a low and subdued tone of voice began by saying:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"<span style="font-size: large;">Children, I talks to God and God talks to me. I goes out and talks to God in de fields and de woods."</span></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"> (The weavel had destroyed thousands of acres of wheat in the West that year) -<br />
"</span><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dis morning I was walking out, and I got over de fence. I saw de wheat a holding up its head, looking very big. I goes up to it and takes hold ob it. You b'lieve it, dere was no wheat dare?</span> I says, 'God</span></i> (speaking the name in a voice of reverence peculiar to herself), <span style="font-size: large;"><i>what IS de matter wid DIS wheat? and He says to me, 'Sojourner, dere is a little weasel in it.' Now I hears talkin' about de Constitution and de rights of man. I comes up and I takes hold of dis Constitution. It looks MIGHTY BIG, and, I feels for MY rights, but der aint any dare. Den I says 'God what ails dis Constitution?' He says to me "Sojourner, dare is a little weasel in it.' </i></span>The effect upon the multitude was irresistible.<br />
On a dark, cloudy morning, while she was our guest, she was sitting, as she often was wont to do, with her cheeks upon her palms, her elbows on her knees. -</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
She lifted up her head as though she has just wakened from a dream, and said:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Friend Dugdale, poor old Sojourner can't read a word. Will you git me de Bible and read me a little of de Scripter?"</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Oh yes, Sojourner, gladly, said I.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I opened to Isaiah, the 59th chapter. She listened as though an oracle was speaking. When I came to the word, </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>"None calleth for justice nor any pleadeth for truth; your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity; they hatch cockatrice's eggs and weave the spiders web; he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper"</b>, she could restrain herself no longer, and bringing her great palms together with an emphasis that I shall never forget, she exclaimed, <span style="font-size: large;"><i>"is dat thare? - 'it shall break out into a viper'. Yes, God told me dat. I never heard it read afore now I know it double!</i></span>"</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Of course her mind was directed by the heinous institution of American-slavery, and she regarded these terrible words of the Seer as prophetic concerning its fearful consequences.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
On one occasion, in a large reform meeting, where many able and efficient public speakers were present, Sojourner sat in the midst. One man, in defiance of propriety, was waiting the time of the meeting by distasteful and indelicate declamation. Some, in despair of his ending, were leaving the meeting. Others, mortified and distressed, were silently enduring, while the "flea of the Convention" continued to bore it. nothing daunted. Just at a point where he was forced to suspend long enough to take a breath, Sojourner, who had been sitting in the back part of the house with her head bowed, and groaning in spirit, raised up her tall figure before him and, putting her eyes upon him said</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"CHILD if de people has no whar to put it, what is de use? Sit down, child, SIT DOWN!"</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The man dropped as if he had been shot, and not another word was heard from him.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
A friend related the following anecdote to me. In that period of the Anti-Slavery movement when mobocratic violence was often resorted to, one of its most talented and devoted advocates, after an able address, was followed by a lawyer, who appealed to the lowest sentiments - was scurrilous and abusive in the superlative degree. Alluding to the colored race, he compared them to monkeys, baboons, and ourang-outans. When he was about closing his inflammatory speech, Sojourner quietly drew near to the platform and whispered in the ear of the advocate of her people:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Don't dirty YOUR hands wid dat critter. Let ME 'tend to him!'. I had de dirty work to do - de scullion work. Now I am goin' to 'ply to dis critter"</i></span> - pointing her long bony finger with withering scorn at the petty lawyer, <span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Now in de course of my time I has done a great deal of dirty scullion work, but of all de dirty work I ever done, dis is de scullionest and de dirtiest."</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Peering into the eyes of the auditory with just such a look as SHE could give, and that no one could imitate, she continued: <span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Now children, don't you PITY me?"</i></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
She had taken the citadel by storm. The whole audience shouted applause, and the negro-haters as heartily as any.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I was present at a large religious convention. Love in the family had been portrayed in a manner to touch the better nature of the auditory. Just as the meeting was about to close, Sojourner stood up. Tears coursing down her furrowed cheeks. She said:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"We have heerd a great deal about love at home in de family, Now, children, I was a slave, and my husband and my children was sold from me." </i></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The pathos with which she uttered these words made a deep impression upon the meeting. Pausing a moment she added: <span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Now husband and children is all gone, what has 'come of de affection I had for dem? Dat is de question before de house!"</i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The people smiled amidst a baptism of tears.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Let food and raiment be given her -</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
There are many in the land who will be made richer by seeing that this noble woman shares their bounty; and then, when her lord shall come to talk with her, and take her into His presence chamber, and shall say, <i>"Sojourner, lacked thou anything",</i> she may answer, "<i>Nothing Lord, either for body or soul."</i></div>
