great action. great capture of a moment in time.

Emilie Josephine Hutchinson wrote Women's Wages: A Study of the Wages of Industrial Women and Measures Suggested to Increase Them (Columbia University 1919).

Pretty sure this is Aimee Hutchinson, a New York Catholic school teacher dismissed from her job for attending the 1912 suffrage parade. She was regarded as a suffrage martyr and went on to become a suffrage activist, and part of the "Suffrage Pure Foods Company" on Broadway. daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/05/fanciful-queen-ann... contains a brief account of her activities.

"Miss Aimee Hutchinson is the first church made martyr of the votes for women cause in America. She has been forced by the Rev Matthew A Taylor to resign her position as secretary and teacher in the parochial school of the Church of the Blessed sacrament because she marched in the suffrage parade up Fifth avenue on May 4. Miss Hutchinson who has grown from childhood to womanhood in the school feels as if she had been thrust into outer darkness. But in all her distress at leaving the Sisters and the pupils by whom she is beloved her adherence to her suffrage principles has not wavered. Her sister teachers were aware of her intention to appear in the parade but Father Taylor if he knew made no sign. After the parade was over he sent for her and said that to him woman suffrage was the open door to Socialism and he did not believe in continuing its advocates in the school. He therefore asked for Miss Hutchinson s resignation and paid her in full till september 1 ." -New York World, quoted in "Women Under Capitalism", 1912 books.google.com/books?id=otMvAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA26&lp...

I like artolog's ID better! Any chance they were related, I wonder? Emilie and Aimee just seem like sisters' names to me, and they seem to have had overlapping interests.

The Glasnevin Trust has a numbered version available, with some of the names already filled in.

Sharon Corbet That cuts out most of the fun of the shot Sharon but it is interesting how many major players were present!

There are more names available in this Examiner article.

Swordscookie The numbering is helpful, though :-)

Keogh had to have taken the photograph from the roof of the Boland Chapel. Streetview The grave to bottom right is that of William Dargan another nation "builder". James O Dea's photographs are mostly of his work. "St. James’s Brass and Reed Band, Mount Brown, Dublin 8, is by far Ireland’s oldest band. It was established in 1800 but early records trace back as far as 1737."

Wish candidates wore these frock coats again! Especially in the summer.

It didn't help Taft too much, Matt.

oh taft....

Searching in the NY Times, it looks like Taft only spoke formally once in Springfield during the 1910s, the week of 4/25/1912 (see "Taft Opens Fire on Roosevelt", on the front page of the 4/26/12 paper).

I want a stash like that.
