body later will be cremated.
It is expected that the funeral will
be attended by hundreds of Mrs. Dun
lway's personal friends and by citizens
who want, in this way. to do honor to
the pioneer suffrage leader.
Persons in all parts of the state yes
terday testified to the love and esteem
in which the venerable advocate of
equal rights for women was held. Even
those who were opposed to the en
franchisement of women paid, her high
honor and reepect.
Although, on account of her extreme
age and her recent illness, her death
was not unexpected, the news that she
finally had passed away was more or
less of a shock to her many friends
yesterday and formed the topic of
much quiet discussion among people
In all parts of the city.
In this connection many of the in
teresting incidents in connection with
the life of Mrs. Duniway were recalled.
The official proclamation making
equal suffrage jn Oregon effective -was
penned by Mrs. Duniway's own hand.
This honor was conferred on her by
Governor West, on November 30, 1912.
The Governor called on Mrs. Duni
way at her apartments in Portland
and asked her to write the proclama
tion, which she gladly did. The docu
ment in her own handwriting is now on
file In the office of the Secretary of
tate at Salem.
A notable group of suffrage leaders
witnessed the ceremony. After Mrs.
Duniway had completed the draft of
the proclamation. Governor West at
tached his official .signature to the
document.
Below the Governor's signature ap
pear the words: "The above is trans
cribed by Abigail Scott Duniway in her
79th year.
Mrs. Duniway's 7Sth birthdav, on
October 22, 1912. was a notable event in
Oregon. A great public demonstra
tion was given in her honor at the
Gipsy Smith Tabernacle, where thou
sands of people gathered, to pay a trib
ute of love and respect to her. Mem
bers of her family, officials of the state
and local governments, old friends and
suffrage leaders from various parts of
the Northwest were-seated on the plat
form with her. One of the principal
speakers of that occasion was Mrs Mae
Arkwright Hutton, of Spokane, who
died last week.
Mrs Duniway received many beauti
ful floral offerings and hundreds of
congratulatory messages from all parts
of the country.
Mrs. Duniway was the first woman
1n Multnomah County to register as a
voter. This privilege was extended to
her February 14. 1913. through the
courtesy of John B. Coffey. County
Clerk. Mrs. Duniway at that time was
unable to leave her apartments, and
Mr. Coffey personally took the registra
tion books to her room. She regis
tered as a Republican. She signed her
name with a firm hand in. the blank
paces provided for that purpose. She
gave her occupation as "author."
It is customary for women of her
5re she was 78 at that time to write
"retired" as their occupation, but Mrs.
Duniway insisted that she was too
active to be classified as "retired."
.
Mrs. Duniway always condemned the
militant methods of the English suf
fragettes, and gave forcible utterance
to this sentiment at a reception given
in her honor at Eugene, November 18,
1913.
"Women can lead men all right." she
said then, "but they must keep the
strings out of sight. You cannot go
after them hammer and tongs. If you
do they Will rebel.
"One trouble with the woman suf
frage movement is that it Is being
engineered by professional old maids."
...
A sculptored bust of Mrs. Duniway
was completed about two years ago by
Ttoswell Dosch. a young artist of
Portland. It now is in possession of
her family. The bust shows the head
bent slightly forward and the eves
partially closed, indicating an attitude
ot deep study. All the lines of her
face were faithfully reproduced. "The
bust was on exhibition for a time after
Us completion at the Portland Art
Museum.
Mis. Duniway appeared one time In
the moving-picture film. This was
when she cast her first vote at the
municipal election, in 1913. The film,
however, was not shown, at the request
of Mrs. Duniway. The pictures show
her leaving her home and going to the
polls, and also show her leaving the
automobile and entering the election
booth.
-
Mrs. Duniway suffered a severe ill
ness during the latter part of Februarr
and the early part of March. 1912. and
was detained at home for several
weeks. For a time she was threatened
with an attack of pneumonia. Hard
work In connection with launching the
woman sutrrage campaign of that year
brought about her illnesfi. Her won
derful vitality overcame the disease.
and throughout the campaign of 19!?
fhe was an active worker. She per
sonally received the returns election
night that told her that equal suffrage
in Oregon had become a reality.
Mrs. Duniway was the first woman In
Oregon summoned to serve on a Jury,
This was in early December. 1912, Im
mediately after equal suffrage had be
come a fact. The summons was a mere
formality, however. In recognition of
Mrs. Duniway's lifelong battle for the
ballot for her sex. erte was not required
to serve. The case w-as one in the Mu
nicipal Court and afterwards wss tried
by a jury of women, mho disagreed.
This ended the experiment of callini
women to jury service In Portland.
In the horse and vehicle parade of
the 1912 Rose Festival the entry of the
women s suffrage organizations won
the first prize a silver loving cup. This
trophy afterwards was presented by the
committee of suffrage women ivho had
charge of the float" to .Mrs. Duniway.
The ceremony of presentation took
place at her home and was witnessed
by many of her friends and members
of her family.
'
An oil painting of Mrs. Duniway was
completed by Edwin D. Belts.' a New
York artist, about four years ago, and
presented to the Oregon Suffragist As
sociation. It now hangs in the Na
tional Art Gallery at Washington. D. C.
The portrait was unveiled at the
Portland Hotel, September 16. 1911. The
ceremony was attended by many of
Mrs. Duniway's friends and by suffrage
leaders. The picture shows the mother
of equal suffrage in Oregon seated in
an arm chair. The likeness is declared
to be an excellent one.
.
Mrs. Duniway was opposed to prohi
bition in the form-it is now being advo
cated. In the campaign of 1914 she
took a more or less active part in the
effort to defeat prohibition. She was
a firm believer in temperance, however,
which she said would be more effective
than absolute prohibition. She believed
in personal liberty.
EIGEXE FEEI.S DEATH KEE.VLY
Intense Reverence Expressed at Vni
verslty for Mrs. Duniway.
EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
Word of the death of Mrs. Abigail Scott
Duniway-' produced an expression of in
tense reverence in Eugene today, espe
cially on the University campus. Mrs.
Duniway championed the cause of the
State University during the referendunr.
fights several years ago, and had been
looked to as one of its strongest
friends.' She took a particular interest
in the women of the state institution,
and was one of the first to Join the
movement for the erection of a wom
en's building, and at one time worked
toward having a bill brought before the
Legislature asking for a special appro
priation for this structure. At the
present time the. students are at work
slowly gathering funds, hoping event
ually to have enough to complete the
plan which Mrs. Duniway belped In
originating.
President P. I Campbell, on learning
of the death of Mrs. Duniway. said:
"I have known Mrs. Duniway since
boyhood and I nave followed with great
interest the efforts she made for equal
suffrage in Oregon, especially as my
own sympathies were with her in this
fight.
"It Is with great regret that I learn
of the death of this woman of such
unusual strength and personality and
intellectual force.
"She has been much interested in the
University of Oregon, particularly in
th women of the University. She
helped the students work for the crea
tion of a fund for the workmen's build
ing, and at one time planned to work
for the building before tbe Legisla
ture." Mrs. P. L. Campbell, a member of the
Eugene Fortnightly Club, returned yes
terday from Portland, where, only yes
terday, she left messages from the Eu
gene women for Mrs. Duniway. who
was interested in the work of the Eu
gene clubwomen and who has visited
them here. .
'WATCH DANGER SIGNAL'
FlYNX DECLARES SATIRE
IM.AXS TO WAR.V VS.
"Look Out for Cold Fret and Cold
Hands, its They May Mean Prolapsed
Organs Pressing;,' He Says.
W. E. Flynn, at the Eleventh-Street
Theater last night, took up some of the
fine points of many diseases that his
audience has asked hiin to touch on
appendicitis, hardening of the liver,
gall stones, prolapsed stomach and
heart disease. Flynn said:
"Watch out for the danger signals.
You read of someone dying suddenly
at some church social or some recep
tion and you say 'I can't believe it. it
Is so sudden." There is no such a thing
as sudden with nature. It doesn't
treat us that way. She sends out one
warning after another of our over
drawn acccount at her bank. When we
pay no heed, but still keep on draw
ing, she rends the bill collector around
and we have to pay or foreclosure
takes place.
"Look out for the cold feet and the
cold hands; they may mean prolapsed
stomach pressing the organs of the ab
dominal cavity down, cutting oft the
blood supply in the legs. Short breath
valvular heart trouble. Too much un
digested food in body.
"Pain in region of heart digestion
slow: intercostal neuralgia; congestion
of lining of thorax.
"Pain in pit of stomach inflamma
tion of the gall duct; gall stones; can
cer of the stomach.
"Mental depression nervous ex
haustion; torpid liver: slow digestion.
"Pay attention to a few of these
signs along the road and there won't
be any of this "all of a sudden' busi
ness. Tonight, 8 o'clock. "Commercialized
Health" will be the subject.
