About This Collection

Williamsport Women: Voices, Images, Actions-Source material related to the history of women in Lycoming County from Lycoming College, the Lycoming County Historical Society, and the J.V. Brown Library. Documents selected highlight the history of local women in volunteer and reform organizations, education, the arts, the workplace, and private lives. The first part of the collection will cover the time period 1875-1925. "This material will have national, perhaps international, significance as it relates to women's history and studies during a time period when there is a scarcity of materials about women's contributions to local communities. All three cooperating facilities are very limited in staffing and available hours, so the materials will reach users who either cannot physically come to the collections or did not previously know of their existence. This collaborative project is funded through an LSTA grant.

Cast of "The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter" (1938)
Social reform, Williamsport YWCA (Williamsport, Pa.)
Photograph of the cast of "The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter" (1938). Handwritten note on reverse: "Left to right (1938) Louise Niemeyer; Mrs. Bannen; [Mrs.] Jackson; [Mrs.] Gillett; [Mrs.] Manson; [Mrs.] Williamson." The 1940 census gives further information about some of the women: Louise Niemeyer was 63, a college graduate, and a lodger with a physician's family; Janet Bannen, 52 and widowed, resided with her sister and brother-in-law; and Doris Gillett, 29, was the wife of Harold, an aircraft machinist, probably at what is now the Lycoming Engines division of Avco Corporation. An article in the Feb. 1, 1938, Gazette & Bulletin, also reported that the play was to take place the next day at the Women's Club, starring "Mrs. Phil Gillette, as the heroine, in the title role; Miss Louise Niemeyer the lighthouse keeper and Mrs. R.G. Bannen his wife; Mrs. Frederic E. Manson the villain and Mrs. R.W. Jackson the hero."

Handwritten on reverse: "Left to right, Louise Niemeyer, Mrs. Taggert, Mrs. Van Antwerp, Mrs. Peaslee, Mrs. Laird, Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Hicks." More information is available, however, from the February 1, 1938, Gazette & Bulletin, which actually describes the event as part of the next day's Clio Club annual business meeting at the Women's Club, as follows: "A Floradora chorus, directed by Mrs. J. Frank Budd, will appear on the program in gowns they themselves wore at the turn of the century. The chorus includes Mrs. Clarence L. Peaslee, Mrs. H.W. Taggert, Mrs. H.W. Whitehead, Miss Louise Niemeyer, Mrs. H.R. Laird, Mrs. T.M.B. Hicks, Mrs. L.L. Walton, Mrs. J.G. Rhoads, and Mrs. G.F. Welliver." The handwritten notes above indicate that apparently some cast changes were made following the article's publication.
