oken Bow and Mrs. Marble did all
kinds of work at all times if it helped the cause.

Mrs. Young kept the clubs at work during 1905 and a full delegation of
fourteen was sent to the national convention at Portland, Oregon, but
her health began to fail and at the State convention held at Broken
Bow October 10-12 she was compelled to give up the presidency. The
executive board needed her counsel and experience and she accepted the
position of honorary president. Mrs. Marble was made president and the
other officers were re-elected with Miss Mary H. Williams as
historian. Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford of Colorado was the principal
speaker. There were seventeen addresses of welcome from representative
citizens.

Mrs. Marble kept up the work in 1906 as far as it was possible. She
began publishing an annual report of the year's work, a pamphlet of
about 70 pages, containing a roster of the clubs and much useful
information, and continued it during the four years of her presidency.
With Miss Williams she attended the national convention at Baltimore.
The State convention met at Lincoln, October 2, 3, in All Souls'
Church with Dr. Shaw as evening speaker. A memorial meeting was held
for Susan B. Anthony, with the Rev. Newton Mann of Omaha, her former
pastor in Rochester, N. Y., as speaker.

The State convention of 1907 met in Kenesaw October 1, 2. The
legislative work had been to obtain a memorial to Congress asking for
a Federal Suffrage Amendment. More conventions passed woman suffrage
resolutions during the summer than ever before. On October 7 the
beloved leader, Mrs. Young, passed away. In November Miss Gregg was
sent by the National Association to assist Mrs. Marble and remained
until the middle of January, doing office and field work.

In February, 1908, Mrs. Maud Wood Park of Boston made a visit to the
State and formed College Woman Suffrage Leagues in the State and
Wesleyan Universities and among graduates in Lincoln. Miss Williams
was made chairman of a committee to raise Nebraska's pledge of $300 to
the Anthony Memorial Fund. At the State convention in Lincoln Nov. 5,
6, Mrs. Marble was obliged to decline the presidency and was made
vice-president. The Rev. Mary G. Andrews of Omaha was elected in her
place; but from this time until her death, April 6, 1910, Mrs. Marble
never ceased to do everything in her power to forward the success of
the suffrage movement.

Early in 1909 the petition of the National Association to
