Mrs. Wescott, who was 100, was born in Portland on Nov. 10, 1904, 16 years before American women had the right to vote.

Mrs. Wescott, who was 100, was born in Portland on Nov. 10, 1904, 16 years before American women had the right to vote, ten years before the popular election of the U.S. Senate, 39 years after the end of the Civil War, and at least 100 years before the Portland Press Herald hired anyone with a brain to write obituaries.

I love the quote from her son: "If she had been born in an era when women had more rights, her son said, she would have accomplished a lot." Yes, given her later politics, she probably would have had an abortion, rather than giving us another lib to carry on.
