SOURCE: "BLUE BOOK OF NEBRASKA WOMEN;" BY WINONA REEVES (1916); PAGES 7 - 50 ----------------------------- Obituary: Clara Bewick Colby lived on the edge at a time when women had few rights and plenty of Victorian constraints. Colby shed the prohibitions of the day to become a leader in women's rights. Born in England, she came to the United States as a child. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1869 and married a former Civil War general, Leonard Wright Colby. The couple moved to Beatrice, Neb., in 1872, where her husband set up a law office and promoted real estate ventures. He was elected to the Legislature in 1876 and 1886, followed by his appointment as assistant U.S. Attorney General. Clara Colby's career bumped along, traditional and low-key at first. She founded a free public library in Beatrice, established a lecture series and brought in public speakers. Among them were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. In 1881, she helped organize the Nebraska Woman's Suffrage Association and, two years later, founded the Woman's Tribune, the eventual official voice of the Woman's Suffrage Association. When her husband was appointed to the Attorney General's office in Washington, D.C., she moved with him, packing up the newspaper and continuing to publish. She would keep her readers informed of the suffrage movement for 26 years. She traveled widely, a delegate to international events espousing women's rights and world peace. In 1906, the Colbys divorced and although she was then nearly 60 years old, she continued with her commitment to causes now bubbling around the world. Ultimately, her story ended before she realized her goals of world peace and women's rights, especially the right to vote and own property. She died four years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Clara Bewick Colby 1846-1916 Home: Beatrice Legacy: Women's rights Spouse: General Leonard Wright COLBY.
