a eulogy in which she expressed the love
and recognition of the organized suffrage women of the world for Miss
Anthony, as the one to whom they had all looked as their leader. William
Lloyd Garrison spoke of Miss Anthony's work with his father and other
antislavery leaders, and Mrs. Jean Brooks Greenleaf spoke in behalf
of the New York State Suffrage Association. Then, as "Aunt Susan" had
requested, I made the closing address. She had asked me to do this and
to pronounce the benediction, as well as to say the final words at her
grave.

It was estimated that more than ten thousand persons were assembled
in and around the church, and after the benediction those who had been
patiently waiting out in the storm were permitted to pass inside in
single file for a last look at their friend. They found the coffin
covered by a large American flag, on which lay a wreath of laurel and
palms; around it stood a guard of honor composed of girl students of
Rochester University in their college caps and gowns. All day students
had mounted guard, relieving one another at intervals. On every side
there were flowers and floral emblems sent by various organizations, and
just over "Aunt Susan's" head floated the silk flag given to her by the
women of Colorado. It contained four gold stars, representing the four
enfranchised states, while the other stars were in silver. On her breast
was pinned the jeweled flag given to her on her eightieth birthday
by the women of Wyoming--the first place in the world where in the
constitution of the state women were given equal political rights with
men. Here the four stars representing the enfranchised states were
made of diamonds, the others of silver enamel. Just before the lid was
fastened on the coffin this flag was removed and handed to Mary Anthony,
who presented it to me. From that day I have worn it on every occasion
of importance to our Cause, and each time a state is won for woman
suffrage I have added a new diamond star. At the time I write this--in
1914--there are twelve.

As the funeral procession went through the streets of Rochester it was
seen that all the city flags were at half-mast, by order of the City
Council. Many houses were draped in black, and the grief of the citizens
manifested itself on every side. All the way to Mount Hope Cemetery
the snow whirled blindingly around us, while the masses that had fallen
covered the earth as far as we could see a fitting winding-sheet for
the
