  • The Centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment
    Sarah Jane Corson Downs, Ocean Grove Audiences listened with rapt attention when Sarah Downs, a social reformer with a booming voice and daunting appearance, condemned alcohol as “the enemy.” As previously mentioned, Downs became president of the New Jersey Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1881. Despite her tough demeanor, “Mother Downs” was The Monmouth County Clerk’s Office kind and loving. commemorates Sarah was born in 1822 to an old Philadelphia family, members of the Dutch Reformed Church. When she was five, her father died and, in The Centennial of the the 1830s, her widowed mother moved the family to New Jersey, initially in Pennington. Sarah experienced “a conversion” at seventeen and became an Evangelical Methodist. While teaching school in New Nineteenth Amendment Egypt, she met a widower, Methodist circuit minister Rev. Charles S. Downs. After they married in 1850, Sarah left teaching and cared for their children. When Rev. Downs retired for health reasons, the family relocated to Tuckerton. To make ends meet, Sarah resumed teaching and wrote newspaper articles. After Rev. Downs died in 1870, she raised funds for a new church and became increasingly interested in women’s welfare. In the mid-1870s, Downs moved to Ocean Grove, the dry Methodist seaside town that would become known for its women activists and entrepreneurs. In 1882, she purchased a house lease at 106 Mount Tabor Way for $490. During her Ocean Grove years, Downs significantly increased the WCTU membership. Loyal to Frances Willard, national WCTU president, Downs supported suffrage as “a means for women to better protect their homes and children” and to help achieve the prohibition of alcohol.

  • Women's Suffrage
    Women's Suffrage Emily Depietri, Kayla Corbett, Lance Kamen, and Julia LaBarbiera “Facts of the Past” -Women were unhappy and wanted the right to vote and have a voice in government -The demand for the enfranchisement of American women was first seriously formulated at the Seneca Falls Convention (1848) -After the Civil War, agitation by women for the ballot became increasingly vociferous -In 1869, however, a rift developed among feminists over the proposed 15th Amendment, which gave the vote to black men -Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others refused to endorse the amendment because it did not give women the ballot “Facts of the Past Continued…” -Other suffragists, however, including Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, argued that once the black man was enfranchised, women would achieve their goal. As a result of the conflict, two organizations emerged -In 1890 the two groups united under the name National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) Slogan NWSA -The NWSA stands for National Woman Suffrage Association -The NWSA brought woman’s suffrage up to the federal level to be noticed and actually make change -They fought for married woman to be able to have property rights, unions for women workers, and woman being able to vote in elections -The American Woman Suffrage Association and the National Suffrage Association joined together to create the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) National Woman’s Party -In 1916, the Congressional Union formed the Woman’s Party, comprised of the enfranchised members
