 | | On Saturday, March 3, 1906, the local newspaper admitted that Miss Anthony was not merely resting; she was recuperating from a bout with pneumonia "as rapidly as a young person could be expected to." The source of this and of all the news about the patient's progress was Dr. Marcena Ricker. |
 | | Toward midweek, the tense household was able to relax somewhat, for Miss Anthony's temperature had stabilized, and she was able to retain a little nourishment. |
 | | Whether the local decision was prompted by a conviction that Miss Anthony was one of Rochester's own and her story belonged with other Rochesterians or by a sense that she was an aging aberration who had campaigned for years in a losing cause, we can only surmise. |
