Francis Elizabeth Caroline Willard born in Churchville, New York on September 28, 1839 and died in New

swept the country in 1987, when bands of women invaded saloons to sin hymns and kneel in prayer.

world organization in 1891. Meanwhile she put the organization behind the cause of woman’s suffrage
and helped to organize the Prohibition Party in 1882.
