A Tribute To The Memory OF
Mrs. Rlden j. Hartshorn.

Few women in Montgomery county, who
have been interested in the progress of
their community, can fail to feel the loss
that the passing. on January 18th. 1925,
Of Eliza Pierson Bennett Hartshorn means.
Mrs. Hartshorn, a native of northern
New York State, came from Iowa to make
her home in Kensineton. Montgomery
county, in 1899. and was the motive
power in starting the Woman's Club in
that town. and was its first president.
She had caught the vision in lowe hsr
former home. Of the power inr good that
company of women banded together can
be in community. and through her en-
thusiasm and faith, and the force of her
beautiful Christian character, was able to
transmit that vision to others.
She. with Mrs. DR.. Wright of Forest Glen,
Mrs. W. W. Welsh Of Rockville and others.
organized the Montgomery County Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs and was one of
the first of its presiding officers And at
the first meeting Of the Maryland State
Federation of Womens Clubs she played
such an important part that the Kensing-
ton Club has always held high place in
that organization.
Her work through the Warner Memorial
Presbyterian Church, of which her husband
Capt. Eden J. Hartshorn. was an elder
was fully as forceful and important as her
club affiliations. She was at one time
president Of its missionary societies and
has always been one of the most faithful
workers in the church.
A direct descendant of Roger Williams
she was prominent in the work of the
d, A. R. through her charter membership
in the Janet Montgomery Chapter.
She was vice president of the Monteom-
cry County Republican Club and during
the World War was appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson a member of the committee
of defense.
Her greatest legacy to the country. how
ever, is the five splendid young sons whom
she has trained to carry on. and who
cannot fail to be force for good in what
ever part of the world they may happen
to live.
Her children arise up. and call her
blessed: = . let her own works praise her
in the Gates"
