Her dear voice is almost silent now, still she lingers as if to
catch some faint glimpse of hoped-for results, ere she drops this

MASSILON CONVENTION.

On May 27, 1852, another State Convention was held in Massilon. We
give the following brief notice from the _New York Tribune_:

The third Woman's Rights Convention of Ohio has just closed its
session. It was held in the Baptist church, in this place, and
was numerously attended, there being a fair representation of
men, as well as women; for though the object of these, and
similar meetings, is to secure woman her rights, as an equal

the physician, the lawyer, and the banker, the legislator, and
the minister, were all there--all interested in one common cause,

recognized by the laws and usages of society, that every faculty
he has bestowed upon her should have ample room for its proper
development. Is this asking too much? And yet this is the sum and

ridicule, and find easier to sneer at than meet with argument.

Before they separated they organized "The Ohio Woman's Rights
Association," and chose Hannah Tracy Cutler for President.

The first annual meeting of this Association was held at Ravenna, May
25th and 26th, 1853. In the absence of the President, Mrs. Caroline M.
Severance presided. The speakers were Rev. Antoinette L. Brown, Mrs.
Lawrence, Emma R. Coe, Josephine S. Griffing, Martha J. Tilden, and
many others. Emily Robinson presented an able and encouraging report
