William Myall FERA Membership Card [Image Courtesy of University of Kentucky Special Collections]
William Myall was a native of Millersburg who worked as a lawyer and later a banker. His card included a notation concerning his association with the Bourbon Bank which may be related to his membership in FERA. His wife, Lizzie, was also a suffrage supporter. In 1888, she replied to Henrietta Chenault who asked if the local temperance chapter would host Zerelda Wallace during her woman suffrage lecture tour. She declined the request writing, “There is so little interest manifested on the part of our people in this subject…” In 1909, she hosted a meeting of twenty women during a recruitment drive for KERA membership.
