    1. Organized Womens Groups in Delaware Late 1800's?
    2. Does anyone know if there was an organized group of "Suffragettes" or Womens Right To Vote, in the late 1800s in Columbus? My husbands gggrandmother ran a boarding house in Delaware, and I am able to place her there until January of 1898. I finally put her name in for a census search for anywhere, and I came up with a perfect match in Washinton, D.C., for the 1900 census. Now I thought, what on earth would take her to Washington after living here in Ohio all those years, and the women's movement is what I came up with. Her name was Fannie Ely and she was 62 at that time. Mind you, I am playing detective and this is sheer speculation, but would appreciate it if anyone could shed any light on the subject, as I am trying to figure out when and where she died, and where she is buried. She was widowed at age 25, and never remarried, and her husband, Dr. David Ely is buried in GreenLawn Cemetery in Columbus. Thank you, Margaret Ely
