Biography of Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams Massachusetts. She was brought up in a Quaker family with long activist traditions. Early in her life she developed a sense of justice and moral zeal.
After teaching for fifteen years, she became active in temperance. Because she was a woman, she was not allowed to speak at temperance rallies. This experience, and her acquaintance with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led her to join the women's rights movement in 1852. Soon after she dedicated her life to woman suffrage.
Ignoring opposition and abuse, Anthony traveled, lectured and canvassed across the nation for the vote. She also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's rights to their own property and earnings, and women's labor organizations. In 1900, Anthony persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women.
Anthony, who never married, was aggressive and compassionate by nature. She had a keen mind and a great ability to inspire. She remained active until her death on March 13, 1906.

Phil's Notes
On Saturday Feb 14, 2009 we attended the Greece AG Annual valentines banquet
which is kindla like a senior prom event for HS kids only it for adults.
We had about 60-70 in attendance and had the gym decorated up for the
event. Pastor Pat also flew in out of town guest ( from Tennessee)
evangelist Jerry and Becky Drace for the event and for the weekend.
Youth acted as waiters and waitresses for the event and took
tips for speed the light. The food was great including roast
beef, chicken french, potatoes, salad, rolls and a chocolate fountain
to dip bananas and desserts in. We had great time of
socializing with other couples. Jerry and Becky gave a short talk and then on to
the main event, the not so newly wed game. Two adults in our
congregation acted as the MC ( one does Christian comedy
for PT job) and they were hilarious. Couples voluntarily
submitted their names ahead of time to participate in
game ( but only the brave need apply). There names
are then picked out of a basket and chosen to
participate. They then had the men leave and ask the wives
a series of questions and then bring in men and they
try to guess the answers the wives gave and then vise
versa. It sometimes leads to hilarious and embarrassing
answers and that is where the fun begins. The
couple with the most points at the end wins
prizes and the first place couple this year won
an evening at Salvatore's Grand manor in
Buffalo along with a dinner at Russels
They also had many door prizes to give out
various couples in attendance. It was great
time out with your spouse and a fun time was
had by Phil and Jo Ann.
