of character and great benevolence; Mrs. Lucy L. Stout, who
has written many beautiful sentiments in prose and verse: Eliza
Legget and Florence Mayhew, identified with all reform movements;
Mrs. Tenney, the State librarian; and Mrs. Euphemia Cochrane, a
Scotch woman by birth, who loved justice and liberty, a staunch
friend alike of the slave and the unfortunate of her own sex.
Under her roof the advocates of abolition and woman suffrage
always found a haven of rest. Henry C. Wright, Wendell Phillips,
William Lloyd Garrison, Sojourner Truth, Theodore Tilton,
Frederick Douglass, Abbey Kelley and Stephen Foster could all
bear testimony to her generous and graceful hospitality. She was
president of the Detroit Woman Suffrage Association at the time
she passed from earth to a higher life.

FOOTNOTES:

[305] Having made many lyceum trips through Michigan, I have had
several opportunities of meeting Mrs. Stone in her own quiet home,
and I can readily understand the wide influence she exerted on the
women of that State, and what a benediction her presence must have
been in all the reform associations in which she took an active
part. I always felt that Michigan would be a grand State in which
to make the experiment of woman suffrage, especially as in
Mrs. Stone we had an enthusiastic coaedjutor. In paying this
well-deserved tribute to Mrs. Stone, I must not forget to mention
that Mrs. Janney of Flint, a woman of great executive ability,
started the first woman's reading-room and library many years
ago.--[E. C. S.

an active part in the woman suffrage movement, both in this country
and England, will be found in Volume I., page 95.
