Everhard (b. 1837), of Massillon, Ohio, whose wife, Caroline McCullough (b. 1843), was a prominent 19th c. suffragist. <br /><br />As the President of the Ohio Women's Suffrage Association (1891), and co-founder of the Equal Rights Association of Canton, Ohio, McCullough would have been well known to her adversary Lucy Price, of Cleveland.<br /><br />Caroline McCullough was also a student of Goethe's teachings, and co-founded the Massillon Humane Society.<br /><br />So what is an Everhard brick doing at our waterfront? Like bringing coal to Newcastle!<br />unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.com
