<span>Mary D. Lowman, who served as mayor of Oskaloosa, Kansas, was born in Shelocta, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on January 27, 1842. She married George W. Lowman in 1866 and moved to Kansas. Mary became the mother of two children.</span><br /><br /><span>She taught for many years in Pennsylvania and Kansas, including three years in Kansas when Mary focused her attention on teaching newly emancipated African-Americans.</span><br /><br /><span>Also committed to fighting for religious causes, Mary, a Presbyterian, gave significant time to this work.</span><br /><br /><span>Mary was Assistant to the Register of Deeds, her husband, in her hometown of Oskaloosa, Kansas before running for and being elected mayor in 1888. She and her team of female council members were very successful in administering Oskaloosa, and they were reelected in 1889. They received many notices in the press and much attention.</span><br /><br /><span>Tragically, as the </span><em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82016014/1912-06-04/ed-1/seq-7/#date1=&sort=date&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=4&words=D+Lowman+Mary&proxdistance=5&date2=&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mary+D.+Lowman&andtext=&dateFilterType=range&page=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Topeka State Journal</a> </em><span> explains, Mary died "from burns sustained when her clothing caught fire, while preparing a meal" at her home in Oskaloosa.

CRAIG, Mrs. Charity Rusk
<span>Charity Rusk Craig was born in Portersville, OH, on December 20, 1849, the eldest of three children of Jeremiah M. Rusk and Mary Elizabeth Martin. Her parents moved to Wisconsin with their family when Charity was three years old, and she lost her mother when she was five years old. Her father remarried soon after, and Charity eventually had four additional siblings. After attending a Catholic school for one year, the teenage Charity attended private school before graduating from The University of Wisconsin.</span><br /><br /><span>She was passionate about gaining knowledge and was a lifelong learner. As Charity's 1893 </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> </span><a href="https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_zXEEAAAAYAAJ#page/n217/mode/1up/search/craig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a><span> noted, "she has had systematic studies every year since she left school." When her father was elected as a Republican Congressman in 1870, Charity and her family moved to Washington, D.C., and she continued her studies there.</span><br /><br /><span>Charity married Elmer Horace Craig, who shared her love of the Classics, in 1875. Between 1876 and 1890, they became the parents of six children. </span><br /><br /><span>While living in Viroqua, Wisconsin, Charity participated in philanthropic and women's activities. She became a leader of the regional, then state, and finally national chapters of the Woman's Relief Corps. Charity was part of the Executive Board National Council by 1887, was elected </span><a href="https://womansreliefcorps.org/index.php/history/presidential-gallery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President</a><span> the next September, and served in that capacity for a year. Two of her many colleagues were Kate Brownlee Sherwood and Annie Turner Wittenmyer. </span><br /><br /><span>During the mid-1890s, Charity was instrumental in fundraising for the National Relief Corps Home in Madison, Wisconsin. As </span><em>The National Tribune</em><span> noted on May 10, 1894, in an</span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/exhibits/show/wocbirthplaces/item/The%20National%20tribune.%20(Washington,%20D.C.),%20May%2010,%201894,%20Page%206,%20Image%206" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span> </span>article that detailed her efforts</a><span>,"Past National President Charity Rusk Craig, a woman of practical sense and ready resources, has inaugurated a movement to put the National Relief Corps Home on solid footing, and give it an assured and steady income." </span><br /><br /><span>In addition to her work for the National Relief Corps Home, Charity served on the </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/exhibits/show/wocbirthplaces/item/Watertown%20republican.%20(Watertown,%20Wis.),%20April%2008,%201896,%20Image%204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woman's Auxiliary Board</a><span> for the Wisconsin semi-centennial in April of 1896.</span><br /><br /><span>Later that year, due to Elmer's health issues, the family left Wisconsin and moved to the exquisite Queen Anne </span><a href="https://www.lion-rose.com/about#history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home</a><span> they had built in Asheville, North Carolina.

FIFIELD, Mrs. Stella A. Gaines

After marrying newspaper editor Samuel S. Fifield and starting a family, Stella wrote for <em>The Polk County Press</em>, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, <em>The Bayfield Press</em>. </span><span>In 1871,</span><em> </em><span>Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When <em>The Bayfield Press</em> became </span><em>The Ashland Press</em><span> in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper.

Samuel became postmaster and was involved in politics. In 1881, he became Lieutenant Governor. Stella served as a leader in the Ashland Chapter of the Chippewa Presbytery and was active in various charitable associations. </span><br /><br /><span>Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:</span><br /><br /><span>"Sam Fifield and his wife Stella began to camp on Sand Island in 1881....In 1886 they camped on the property which became Camp Stella, and soon after they purchased the property and began developing a permanent camp. While the Fifields sought relief on Sand Island for Stella's hay fever, their camping vacations were part of a popular trend...Organized, communal camps such as Camp Stella offered a more civilized camping experience, with hired help to do the work and other guests to share in recreational activities...It was an affluent, often prominent, clientele....Sam Fifield's yacht <em>Stella</em> was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands" (310-311).</span><br /><br /><span>The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others. In August of 1890, along with Sam and other members of the Wisconsin Press Association, Stella boarded a Pullman sleeper car on the Northern Pacific Railroad for a </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85033078/1890-08-14/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&index=1&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Fifield+Mrs+Sam&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mrs.+Sam+Fifield&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trip</a><span> to Yellowstone National Park. </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19176" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ella A.

CASSEDAY, Miss Jennie
<p>Jennie Casseday, who was born in Louisville, Kentucky on June 9, 1840, was injured as a young woman. As a result, she was bedridden for most of her life. Determined to brighten the lives of others in her situation, she created the Louisville Flower Mission. </p>
<p>During the early years of the Flower Mission, Jennie was contacted by the Harper Brothers, successful New York publishers, to write about her Flower Mission for<em> Harper's Young People</em>. Responding to the publishers, Jennie wrote: </p>
<p>"The mission of flowers has such possibilities, such deep meaning, so much cheer and brightness for the sick, the aged, the poor, the shut-ins, and for the missionaries themselves, that I find my heart bounding with gladness at tne new avenue you have opened for its enlargement"(<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433082405162;view=1up;seq=30" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duncan</a>, 22). <br /><br />Word spread about Jennie's mission, and <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frances Willard</a> asked Jennie to be the founder of the WCTU's National Flower Mission. Her National and Annual Flower Mission Day, an event on her birthday, June 9, which resulted in flowers in the cells of prisoners throughout the country, continued even after Jennie's death on February 8, 1893.</p>
<p>In addition, Jennie organized the Shut-In Band, a community of people who, like her, were invalids, and provided a way for them to communicate through the periodical <em>Open Window</em>. <br /><br />She also supported the Louisville Training School for Nurses and the Rest Cottage "for tired girls and women who have to support themselves" (161), and established a Louisville chapter of the Order of King's Daughters (Duncan, 43). </p>
