Lot 200


Signed in pencil. The owner of the bible Abbie M. Ellis had Ms. Anthony sign the bible when she was in Canandaigua, NY in 1873 after her trial. She put the date 1873 in pencil (hard to make out the "73"). On this day, June 18, in 1873, Canandaigua, NY became a significant spot in the history of the women's rights movement. It was at the Ontario County Court House 137 years ago that suffragist Susan B. Anthony was found guilty by a judge of breaking the law by casting a vote in the 1872 presidential election. There were speakers traveling the circuit, Susan B. Anthony being one of them, said Nancy Parsons, education and learning coordinator for the Ontario County Historical Museum in Canandaigua. The third floor theater and dance hall of the Bemis Block (a commercial building just south of Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Co. on Main Street) was one of several public venues for civil rights leaders such as Anthony and Frederick Douglass.
