The speakers were A.G. Goodrich, William H. Siddoway, Ray E. Dillman, and Bishop J. Clive Davis. They spoke of her efficient word as a public official and of the unusual confidence the public had in her administrations as county recorder, receiver of the U.S. land office, and in other public duties.
