ThIrtieth Annual Convention.

The thirtieth annual convention aud
fifth anniversary celebration OF the Ma
tional American woman suffrage associa-
ton Will be held in he Columbia theatre,
Washington, beginning Feb. ii, and end
ing Feb. 70, 1885.
The circular announcing this meeting
says:
This meeting will be of special interest and
Significance as the hfth anniversary of the first
convention ever held to demand equal rights
for women. No reform was ever more impera-
lively needed, none ever had greater obstacles
to overcome. The subsection of women was
worth ide and OF immemorial antiquity. 1t was
rooted in the codes and customs OF all nations.
1t was accepted by men ard women alike as the
law OF nature and of God. The thought Of
equality for women-their right to education,
to chance for self-support, to the control Of
their own persons, children. earnings and prop.
erty-had scarcely dawned upon even the most
progressive minds.
1.-THE great movement has steadily advanced.
In this half century new world has been
created for women In home and school. In
church and state, in the courts and In the in
dustries and professions, reformation has
been effected. all the more to he valued because
achieved through the slow processes of evolu
ton rather than the harsh measures of revolu
ton.
lin the political world, the last stronghold Of
prejudice. the rig hts of women are being recog-
nized. We have to-day President and Con
gress elected IN part by the votes of women.
The constitutions of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Idaho secure to women the full suffrage.
in the 2s5 Incorporated cities Of Kansas. women
exercise municipal suffrage. In twenty-t two
states they possess school suffrage.
The twentieth century belongs equally to
men and women. All citizens of the United
States, all friends from other countries. are
cordially invited TO cooperate In celebrating
the semi centennial of the drst convention held
for what Wendell Phillips declared to be the
most momentous reform that has yet been
launched on the word

OBITUARY..
MRS. ABIGAIL 8. RICHARDSON,


Abigail $. Richardson, OF West Branch
Pond, died at the home of her son, John
II. Richardson, Jan. q, aged ninety-two
years, eleven months, seven days.
Mrs. Richardson was born in Mt.
Desert, Feb. 10, 1905. She was a descend
ant Of wo well-known families, he Mil
likens and Obers. Her father was Capt.
Isaac ODER, formerly OF Sedgwick, and
her mother was the daughter of Samuel
MilIiken, one of the earliest settlers of
Ellsworth; owning farm on the present
site OF the city OF Ellsworth where her
mother, Joanna Milliken, was born. After
residing in Ellsworth a few years Mr..
Miiliken sold out and moved to Pretty
Marsh, Mt Desert. Mr.. Milliken fought
ninety five, and his wife over a century.
Capt Ober and his wife both lived to
good old age. Thus old age seems to be
an inheritance Mrs. Richardson received
from her family.
Mrs. Richardson was married to Will
liam Richardson, OF Beech Hill, Mt.
Desert, at which place they resided for
y
the town Of Starks, on the Sandy river, a
tributary OF the Kennebec. About 1915
they sold their farm and moved to Veazie
and from thence to North Orland, in
which vicinity they lived until the death
OF Mr.. Richardson. Since that time she
has resided most Of the time with her
children. Mrs. Richardson's lie was a
will no ha
neig bors will forget Grandmot her Rich
ardson. Her work was mostly for others.
For her family and friends it seemed
she could never do enough, and this
without apparently a selfish motive or
any expectations OF return.
At the breaking out Of the civil war she
showed her Spartan nature by sending
served long terms. 1t is remar ka BILE that
after the vicissitudes OF the war, including
with some Of them) long terms in rebel
prisons, all are living to mourn the death
of their mother. These SONS are Isaiah O.
and John II. Richardson, of North Or
land William A. Richardson, OF Ellis
worth Falls, and Isaac l.. Richardson, of
Bucksport. She also had three daughters
whom she outlived. She leaves eighteen
grandchildren and seven great grandchil-
dren.
The funeral was held at the vestry in
West Branch Pond, Rev. II. F. Day, OF
Surry, officiating. Rev. Day said that in
his thirty years Of ministry, he had been
called upon to officiate at the funerals Of
but two persons of greater age.
