18 | none | 1105 | Kentucky | Madison | Richmond | Eastern Kentucky University, Roark Building | Mary Creegan Roark (1 September 1861 - 1 February 1922) moved her administrative offices from the old Central University Building in 1909 to the Roark Building while she served as the second president of Eastern Kentucky Normal School (today known as Eastern Kentucky University). She was a college professor from Iowa who came to Kentucky after she married Ruric Nevel Roark in 1881. They were principal and vice-principal at the Normal School in Glasgow from 1885 until 1889 when they moved to Lexington for Ruric's job as Dean of the Normal School Department at the Kentucky State College (now University of Kentucky). She started the Lexington chapter of the Sorosis woman's club and served as its President for many years. She was also a charter member of the Woman's Club of Central Kentucky. In the fall of 1895, Lexington's women voted in the local public school board elections and she was elected to the Lexington Public School Board. In 1898 she was elected as corresponding secretary for the Kentucky Equal Rights Association (KERA), an important position that coordinated the reports for all the local clubs. In 1903 she chaired the Woman's Council Committee, a joint group of KERA and Fayette ERA volunteers that organized a program for the Lexington Chatauqua at Woodland Park. Roark served as an officer in KERA for nearly every year until 1911, also taking on the role of chair of the Education Committee of the Kentucky Federation of Women's Club after the Kentucky legislature revoked the partial woman suffrage law. In her leadership role at Eastern Normal School, she established the first all-female residence hall and built the new administrative building which was also used for teaching the sciences and agriculture. She was the first female to serve as president of a public higher education institution in Kentucky history. After her husband died in 1909 and her role as president ended in April 1910, she stayed on as Dean of Women until 1915. Then she left Kentucky to earn her Masters degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1916. She died while she was in Baltimore, and her body was brought back to be buried beside her husband and one of her sons in the Richmond Cemetery. | 1894-1912 | Mary Creegan Roark | Eastern Kentucky University | 533 Lancaster Ave. | 533 Lancaster Ave. | 37.742557 | -84.301381 | https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/4d6e8e10-2fa1-48c0-bdb0-ee79b2570c82 | "Mary Creegan Roark."

She was directed in her Kentucky tour by KERA president Madeline McDowell Breckinridge to cover 45 counties in speaking on suffrage and forming suffrage clubs. She organized 27 county organizations in total. Here is her report about her work in Somerset: "In Somerset, a town of about 5,000, I spoke at the Fountain Square. I reached Somerset at 3 in the afternoon and at once asked permission to use the courthouse that night (Saturday). They were not willing to give it to me, so I put up some handbills in the store windows (these were so worded as to fit any occasion, and I always carried them), announcing that I would speak at the Fountain Square, getting the permission of the Mayor and the Chief of Police I spoke from an auto, and the policeman on duty signed a card and helped distribute the literature. Mr. Flippin, Representative was in the crowd and shook hands with me afterwards, saying that he wanted me to know that he would work for woman suffrage and vote for it every time.

30 | none | 1123 | Kentucky | Ohio | Hartford | Hartford Courthouse | Lily Ray Glenn, a NAWSA recruiter from Washington D.C., spoke on woman suffrage at the Hartford Courthouse during her 1914 suffrage tour across Kentucky. She arrived on Friday, May 8, 1914, and spoke at the courthouse the next night. The newspaper reporter was skeptical of her reception: "Miss Glenn fell into a rather hostile camp, as regards the doctrine she preaches, when she came to Hartford, but notwithstanding the opposition which she met, she was given a good sized audience at the court house." A local attorney, Ernest M. Woodward, introduced her and "made a splendid speech in behalf of Equal Rights for Women." Glenn then spoke for thirty minutes and the reporter admitted: "Her remarks were earnest and convincing." She was successful in her quest since the article follows up with the announcement of the creation of the Ohio County suffrage league with the election of Woodward as president, Mrs. Estill Thomas, vice-president, and Miss Margaret Marks, secretary and treasurer. In 1915, Mrs. F.A. Rothier of Covington presented on suffrage at the teachers' institute at Hartford at the District Baptist meeting and at the District meeting of the W.C.T.U. but there was no KERA report from Ohio County ERA in any subsequent years.

Obenchain used her grandmother's birth name for her pen name (Eliza Calvert Hall) when she was writing fiction and poetry. She most often used her husband's last name when she wrote in support of women's rights and to work as the Kentucky Equal Rights Association's press superintendent. Her suffrage work crossed over into her career in fiction and poetry, and sometimes for national publications such as the Woman's Journal or the New York Times she would go by her pen name. The most highly visible of her fiction, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky" (1907) was a powerful cry for women's rights.

38 | none | 1131 | Kentucky | Kenton | Covington | Home of Trimble Family | Site where the home of Kentucky suffragists Mary Barlow Trimble (the second wife of Judge William Wallace Trimble) and her five children. The large house was on the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and Robbins Street and was bought in Mary Trimble's name. Trimble was a founder of the Covington Equal Rights Club, and in 1894 Susan B. Anthony and Helen Taylor Upton stayed with the Trimble family in Covington while they attended the Ohio Women's Suffrage convention in Cincinnati. In 1895 Trimble hosted Mrs. Lillian Deveraux Blake, a suffragist from New York. By 1901 she was listed as a life member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1902 she was honored as a pioneer activist for woman suffrage at the NAWSA convention in Washington D.C. Her letter to the editor of the Kentucky Post (February 10, 1904) pressed that women's role included the reponsibility of keeping the life of one's community, state and nation clean and orderly - and that women's right to vote was crucial to achieving this end. She also warned that men should not expect women to maintain their homes when they had no real voice in electoral politics. Her son William moved to Seattle where he became a millionaire. Her daughters Helen Trimble Highton and Frances "Fannie" Trimble Fackler were also active suffragists locally and for the state. Another daughter Kate Trimble Woolsey wrote a pro-suffrage book Republics versus Woman published in 1903. Mary Trimble appointed Kate as executor of her large estate (which was shared among her five children); and, a widow at 81 living with Helen in the Trimble mansion, she died in 1912. She was buried next to her husband, two children and a grandchild in the Battle Grove Cemetery in Cynthiana. In 1916, the Trimble mansion was put up for auction, and it finally sold in 1920. The house is no longer extant and the site contains a retail store. | 1792-1879, 1880-1894, 1894-1912 | Mary Barlow Trimble and daughters Fannie Trimble Fackler, Kate Trimble de Roode Woolsey, Helen Trimble Highton | Dollar Store | 1026 Madison Avenue | 1026 Madison Avenue | 39.079832 | -84.509023 | https://books.google.com/books?id=Zc0eBgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=woolsey&f=false | "Trimble, Mary Barlow," in The Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky ed.

She was educated at the Woman's College in Richmond, Virginia and at the Emerson College of Oratory in Boston, Massachusetts. Two years after she married John W. Langley of Pikeville in 1905, he was elected as the Republic representative for the 10th District so they moved to Washington D.C. where she served as her husband's secretary for nearly two decades. He was a strong suffragist and is lauded for his support for the cause in the 1915 KERA convention report (page 15) and the 1917 report (pages 44, 51). She chaired the Pike County Red Cross Society during WWI, but more local research needs to be done to determine if she was active in the Pike County ERA (organized in 1914 with Mary Auxier, president). Langley became the first woman member of the Republican State Central Committee of Kentucky (1920), the founder of the Kentucky Woman's Republican State Committee (1920), the first Kentucky woman elected to Congress (serving from March 1927-March 1931), and the first woman to serve on the Republican Committee on Committees in the U.S. House of Representatives (1930).

"Mrs. Breckinridge is a brilliant woman and her address was very interesting as it was the first of its kind ever heard here. There has been very little interest in the woman's suffrage movement locally and we hardly think it will be a success in this community." (Mt.

The Pikeville Cornet Band performed for the attendees on the street before the meeting and during the meeting - Miss Glenn assured the KERA convention later that year that this musical addition to the program helped draw crowds. The newspaper reporter described Glenn's speech as witty "and proved herself a thoroughly practical soldier in the cause." When a person in the crowd asserted that "woman's place is upon a pedestal in the home," Glenn used humor to reply. The reporter summarized: "She said that in Washington, where there were so many bronze figures upon pedestals, invariably they were of men, and if a spectator should find a woman in bronze or marble, she would be clinging to one of the lower corners, and not on top of the pedestal; in other words, merely an ornamentation." The meeting was a success, since the Pike County Suffrage Association formed there "with a large membership enrollment."
