Robert D. Dalziel examines the history of the Woman’s Roosevelt Memorial Association (WRMA), noting how the organization struggled in its early years to raise funds to reconstruct Theodore Roosevelt’s boyhood home. Dalziel notes the cooperation between the WRMA and the Roosevelt Memorial Association and how the two organizations would eventually merge in 1956 to form the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA). Dalziel highlights the six presidents of the WRMA and says that both organizations had to add “Theodore” to their names to prevent confusion with Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The article includes a photograph of Alice Gilbert Demorest, the first President of the WRMA, and a listing of the members of the executive committee of the TRA.
