Loyal Women at Emma Page fountain – 9/22/19

Emma Page was a noted temperance advocate. A fountain at the corner of Sylvester Park commemorates her work to promote water as a healthy alternative to alcohol. A trough at the base of the fountain recognizes her love of animals. In this photograph from the early 20^th century, a group of women from Olympia’s First Christian Church pose in front of the fountain.
