FEB. 21 ISSUE ANSWERS: This is Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) the famous women’s rights crusader. Our current display at the Romeo Historical Society Archives Museum on Roaring Through the 20’s celebrates the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. Stanton worked tirelessly for decades and died before the goal was reached in 1920. “Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the famous nineteenth century suffragette, was a house guest of the Ayer family (419 N. Main Street) in January, 1871. The Romeo Observer noted that Mrs. Stanton on Saturday evening … gave a free lecture to the ladies, the large hall (Gray’s Opera House) being well filled not withstanding the inclement state of the weather. She remained over the Sabbath, a guest at Mr. Alvan B. Ayer’s and attended services at the Congregational Church and left early Monday morning for Lansing…”-Richard M. Daugherty’s book A Tour of Historic Romeo. This ends the Roaring Through The 20’s series in The Record. But the 20’s display will remain in the Romeo Historical Society Archive at 290 North Main Street for the year for you to enjoy. Please visit the archive on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. to see the flapper dresses, sewing machine, record player, radio, games, bear skin coat, lamps and stained glass. R.
