Origin of Mother’s
Day in Dispute
Honor of First Observance
Claimed by Town of
Henderson, Ky.
It has been the popular belief that
the second Sunday in May was the
day first suggested for Mother's day,
but the natives of this Kentucky
town have an entirely different ver-
sion, writes Martha Lee Forgy from
Henderson, Ky., to the New Orleans
Item-Tribune. '
Folk here, Miss Forgy continues,
insist the day was originated by Mary
Towles Sasseen Wilson.
Born and reared in this little city,
on the south bank of the Ohio river,
in the '60s, she labored earnestly to
have April 20, her mother’s natal day,
observed in the schools in the manner
in which the day is now celebrated.
In 1893 Miss Sasseen, then a school
teacher, published a book setting
forth her ideas, aims and objects,
dedicating the volume to her mother,
with a hope for natural recognition.
The book was copywright that year.
She traveled extensively and ad-
dressed various educational meetings
throughout the country in her effort
to have the day observed in the
schools. It was in the little Center
Mrs. Mary Towles Sasseen Wilson.
street school of Henderson that the
first observance of Mother’s day was
held by Miss Sasseen, and in 1894 she
succeeded in having it celebrated in
the public schools of Springfield, Ohio.
In 1899 she became a candidate for
superintendent of public instruction
of Kentucky, and it was then gen-
erally discussed over the state that
she had first conceived the plan of
celebrating Mother's day.
It is still being discussed and
proudly boasted by officials and citi-
zens alike here, who argue that:
“Miss Annie Jarvis of Philadelphia
has been given the credit of originat-
ing the idea of setting aside a day
for the purpose. Migs Jarvis is en-
titled to great credit in connection
with the national celebration of the
day, but the idea of Mother's day was
conceived long before the time cred-
ited to her. It was first thought of
here, in Henderson, by Miss Sasseen
and celebrated in the schools here
long before the date the sponsors of
the movement claim it originated.”
In 1907 Miss Jarvis invited a friend
to spend the second Sunday in May
with her, to commemorate the day of
her mother’s death. On that day Miss
Jarvis announced her plan for a na-
tional observance of ‘“‘Mother’s day.”
The next year Miss Jarvis’ propagan-
da had progressed so far that Phila-
delphia celebrated the day in church
and home. :
Mary Towles Sasseen married
Judge Marshall Wilson of Florida,
and gave her life to the cause of
motherhood when her first child was
born.
The movement to bestow credit to
her for the origin of the idea has
from the impetus that Miss Jarvis
gave it, and there is plenty of honor
for both her and Mary Towles Sas-

Attend Reserve Corps
Meet at Gettysburg
Messrs. Leonard Engle and Merle
D. Diveley, members of the Reserve
Corps of H. C. McKinley Camp No.
214, Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War, returned home last week
from Gettysburg, where they attend-
ed a meeting of representatives of
the Reserve Corps from the State, in
order to make camp reservations on
the battle field for the joint encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the Sons of Union Veter-
ans of the Civil War which will be
held in June.
This promises to be a great event
in the history of Gettysburg, as the
attendance will, judging from the re-
servations already applied for, be a
record breaker. Members ‘of the local
camp and reserve corps will be there
about 100 per cent, it is said.
FIRST SOCIETY OF FARM
WOMEN MEET AT HILL
CREST GRANGE HALL
The First Society of Farm Women
held their monthly meeting at Hill Crest
Grange Hall, May 1, 1929, the members
gathering at noon with well filled bas-
kets.
After the delicious dinner Mr. C. C.
McDowell spoke on the contemplated
Women’s Tour to Pittsburgh. Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Saylor brought greetings
from Oakland, Cal. Mrs. Saylor spoke
of the beauty of Pennsylvania's hills and
comparing it with California said—
“There is beauty wherever you go.”
June meeting will be held at the home
of Mrs. Wm. Ebaugh, who will supply
the program.
BOMB IS DISCHARGED
AT WINDBER HOME
Hamil Hudock and family were
given a very bad scare one morning
this week, when a charge of dyma-
mite was detonated under the front
door of their home in Windber, re-
sulting in some property damage.
The members of the family were
awakened from their sleep by the let-
go, which also aroused the neighbors.
Hudock is a painter and is anable to
give any light on the matter, when
questioned. No motive could be given
for the dynamiting.
PILOT KILLED IN CRASH
Lieutenant Ellsworth Hayner,
World. War flier and chief pilot at
Troy airport, was fatally injured and

| Memorials to Be Erected
On Monmouth Battlefield
Molly Pitcher, one of Pennsylvania’s
a will be remembered
by a memorial on the Monmouth battle-
field of New Jersey.
This was decided at a meeting of the
State Historical Commission. 1t also
was decided to place a fitting memorial
to Baron Stiegel, famous maker of co-
lonial times.
The Commission also decided to pur-
chase from the Deleware Indians in Ok-
Jahoma, a ceremonial house. This will
be transferred to and erected in Har-
risburg, as a memorial to the tribe which
once lived in that section.
It was decided that the Molly Pitcher
memorial will be a large boulder with a
bronze plate, showing the Pennsylvania
woman in the act of swabbing the can-
non which she served as a member of
the Continental Army during the battle
of Monmouth.
SOMERSET MAN IS
HELD FOR ROBBERY
James Hoover, aged 31 years, unmar=-
ried and who lives at Somerset, was
lodged in jail on a charge of burglary,
following a preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace, H. S. Whipper-
man of Somerset Township. The defen-
dant was arrested by Detective R. E.
Buckman, working out of the District
Attorney’s office.
It is alleged that Hoover broke into a
barber shop on North Center Avenue
Sunday night and took $30 in cash, some
clothing and a gun.
