Delia Lyman Porter

Joseph Wood (Yale College, 1801), of New Haven, and granddaughter of Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the United States under President George Washington.

It was largely through Porter's efforts that a bill for appointment of a woman deputy factory inspector of Connecticut was passed by the state legislature in 1907.

The second rule was to record in abbreviated form at the close of the day its happy happenings, its joys great or small which deserve gratitude.

[11] In 1891, A. D. F. Randolph issued in one volume five short stories of Porter's, which had previously appeared in The Independent, Christian Union, and elsewhere.

Opposed to the amending of the National Prohibition Act, in 1926, Porter spoke before Congress:—[15] I am president of the New Haven Women's Church Union of 60 churches; president of the New Haven Lowell House Mothers' Club for 25 years; chairman of religious training for Connecticut Congress of Mothers, representing 8,000.

As president for more than 25 years of a mothers' club, I know the misery of families where the husband and father was too weak to resist the saloon on pay day.

This club unanimously protests.On June 10, 1891, she married Frank Chamberlin Porter (1859-1946),[3] professor Biblical Theology at Yale University.

[3] She was a member of the New Haven Saturday Morning Club, the Connecticut Society of Colonial Dames,[9][8] and the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.).

Titus Cohen in the early missionary days, and Chester Lyman's diary, which was written at that time, was about to be published.
