Eliza
Jane
Thompson
, a
leader
in the
Woman's
Christian
Temperance
Union
. She was
born
in
1816
, the
daughter
of
Allen
Trimble
, an
Ohio
governor
and
politician
. She was
educated
in
Cincinnati
, and in
1837
, she
married
James
Henry
Thompson
. The
couple
had
eight
children
. Her
eldest
son
,
Allen
Trimble
Thomas
,
left
a
promising
career
in the
ministry
as a
result
of his
drinking
,
which
is
believed
to have
hastened
his
early
death
. For
twenty-five
years
, "
Mother
Thompson
" was
hailed
as a
beloved
leader
of the
WCTU
,
although
her
position
was
largely
ceremonial
due
to her
advanced
age
. She
died
in
1905
. The
Woman's
Christian
Temperance
Union
began
with a
series
of
speeches
in
December
1873
on the
destructive
power
of
alcohol
by
Dr
.
Dio
Lewis
in
Fredonia
,
New
York
and
Hillsboro
and
Washington
Court
House
,
Ohio
.
Soon
typically
quiet
women
in those
towns
began
protesting
outside
of
saloons
by
praying
and
singing
hymns
in
hopes
of
convincing
saloonkeepers
of the
evil
of their
ways
.
Eventually
, the
crusade
spread
to
all
parts
of the
state
. In
some
areas
the
women
were
successful
in
closing
saloons
, but they also
faced
mobs
and
arrest
in
others
. In
November
1874
, the
National
WCTU
was
formed
in
Cleveland
.
