Ohio Women Run Model Town in East Clarion O
The town is described as nearly run entirely by women with men proud of their wives and daughters achievements. Mrs Phoebe Shaw operates Shaw hotel on a temperance basis and Miss Nellie Cleator manages the post office. Church choir is led by Mrs Eva Armstrong and Sunday school superintendent Mrs Nellie Hale with female assistants. The public school teaching staff is all women under Superintendent Mrs Anna Mawson. No male doctors have served in several years. The tone praises their civic roles and resists suffrage rhetoric.
