Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Her organized activities followed on the whole four main lines of effort: (1) developing the educational and recreational opportunities for the poorer children both in Lexington and in the state at large; (2) providing resources for the treatment and cure of the victims of tuberculosis; (3) organizing sound case work in the field of charitable effort; (4) securing votes for women. In attempting to record those activities, I have as far as possible used her own words and to the extent to which I have been skilful in using them her personality may emerge.
