CELEBRATING 101 YEARS of WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE
In August, we celebrated 101 years of the right to vote. We laid flags at the graves of women suffragists in Elmwood Cemetery and were finally able to celebrate Women’s Equality Day and rededicate the Louise Gasser Kirtley Memorial properly on August 26. See pictures here.
