Memorial Service and Tributes


Resolved, that copies of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this association, and be sent to the daily press of Washington, D. C, and to the surviving members of Mrs. Colby's family.

At this meeting arrangements were made for a memorial meeting to be held after congress should have convened and other friends returned to Washington. The meeting was held on the seventeenth of December at the lecture room of the Unitarian Church. There was a large attendance of the old friends of Mrs. Colby and members of the Federal Suffrage Association. Very beautiful tributes of affection and appreciation were given by representatives of the different societies to which she belonged and the churches with which she had co-operated during her stay in Washington. Extracts from a letter from her friend, Dr. Clara MacNaughton, then in Paris, were read.

The following program was carried out:

In Memory and Appreciation of CLARA BEWICK COLBY

Chapel of Unitarian Church, 14th and L Sts. December 17, 1916, 4 P. M.

Reverend Olympia Brown opened the meeting with prayer.
