Talk:Kate Shelley

message: The unsourced statement that this was the first bridge in the United States named for a woman conflicts with the article for the Betsy Ross Bridge article with a sourced statement saying that it was the first named for a woman. Thoughts on this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFlynn26 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  First Bridge Named for a Woman? 

message: ate Shelley - additional information - source Railroad Avenue by Hubbard pp.136-146 except for new information on the Kate Shelley bridge
1. C&NW railroad gave her a gold medal and a lifetime pass over the system.
2. C&NW in 1901 named the then new bridge over the Des Moines River the Kate Shelley bridge. The bridge was replaced (although the original was left standing) by the Union Pacific between 2006 and 2009 and is designated either "New Kate Shelley Bridge" or "Kate Shelley High Bridge" depending on which reference you happen to check.
3. Monument to her in Dubuque,l Iowa.
4. Boone local of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen organized in 1886 and chose the name Kate Shelley Lodge Number 204. At the time of the Hubbard book it was (and perhaps may still be) the only brotherhood lodge named for a woman.
5. Bronze plaque at the Methodist Church in Ogden commemorating her deeds.
6. Ballads/Poems include those written by Eugene J. Hall (Kate Shelley), W.C. Hafley (Brave Kate Shelley), and MacKinlay Cantor (The Ballad of Kate Shelley).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.173.247 (talk) 20:02, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed the age references as Kate was stated as being 15 in 1880. Her birth year is stated as 1863 which seems to have consensus. Doing the math she would have been 17 on her birthday in 1880. I realize that there has been many conflicting accounts of her birth date and age at the time of the incident in 1881. At the time of the incident in July 1881 she would have been 17 (turning 18 in December of that year) if her 1863 birth date is correct. There is new information sourced from the research of Misty McNally with highlights here: https://iowaculture.gov/history/blog/remembering-real-kate-shelley.
While I am reluctant to wade any deeper into this issue, if there is an editor that wishes to do further searching for sources that can verify the ages that I removed please do so.THX1136 (talk) 01:20, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
