WOMEN OF THE HUMPHREY FAMILY “Women of the Humphrey Family” includes artifacts from three women in the Humphrey family: Ida Stuart Humphrey, second wife of Senator John Humphrey (1861-1953), and Senator Humphrey’s two daughters, Clara Humphrey Myers (1876-1952) and Maude Humphrey Cannon (1880-1932). A newspaper article in the Tinley Star titled “Orland Park Women Frame Village Ticket” from 1929 is displayed in the bottom right corner of the cabinet. Though there was not an official women’s suffrage movement in Orland Park, according to newspaper articles from this period, women voted in local elections. Notably, in 1929, there was an all-female ticket for Village office. Though they were unsuccessful, they came third out of the four tickets.
