Ohio Women Vote: 100 Years of Change
Lucy Stone (August 13, 1818 – October 18, 1893)

Lucy Stone was one of many speakers who argued
for equal enfranchisement for women. “We want that
[women] should attain to the development of her
nature and womanhood; we want that when she dies,
it may not be written on her gravestone that she was
the [widow] of somebody,” Stone said in a speech.

Her speech and the convention’s proceedings were
recorded and sold after the event, helping the
movement gain international recognition.

JELL–O AT HALLOWEEN TIME, ANY TIME

Celtic Lady: MORE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN: MAGAZINE ADS

In 1897, in LeRoy, New York, carpenter and cough syrup
manufacturer Pearle Bixby Wait trademarked a gelatin
dessert called "Jell-O". Wait and his wife, May, added
strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon flavoring to
granulated gelatin and sugar.

In 1899, Wait sold Jell-O to "Orator Francis Woodward",
whose Genesee Pure Food Company produced the
successful Grain-O health drink. Part of the legal
agreement between Woodward and Wait dealt with
the similar Jell-O name.
