  • Framingham Suffragettes to be Honored

    FRAMINGHAM, MA – Two Framingham women who were jailed during their fight for women’s suffrage will be honored by having a small parcel of land in front of the Edgell Memorial Library dedicated to them at 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 27th.

    Louise Mayo, a farmer’s wife and mother of seven,who lived on Nixon Road in the early 1900’s, was jailed in Washington, D.c. during a suffrage protest. She was pardoned by President Woodrow Wilson.

    Josephine Collins was in business in Framingham Centre and was involved in a suffrage demonstration in Boston. She was arrested and spent time in jail until an anonymous donor paid her fine.

    The Framingham Historical Society has organized a dedication program at 4 p.m. featuring Mary Beth Cahill, Senator Kerry’s former campaign manager and a Marian High Graduate as keynote speaker.

    Due to their efforts and arrests, Collins and Mayo received pins in the shape of jail doors given to them by Alice Paul of the National Women’s Party. The original pins will be on display and replicas will be for sale at the event.

    For further information, call the Framingham Historical Society at 508-872-3780.
