Mother Jones News Round-Up for June 1910, Part I:
-Found Recovering from Illness at Grand Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio
From The Cincinnati Post of June 2, 1910:
MOTHER JONES IS GROWING WORSE,
LONGS FOR “BOYS”
—–
Mother Jones, “Angel of the Mines,” who is ill at the Grand Hotel, is worse, according to Attorney Nicholas Klein, who has been in attendance at her bedside. From her bedside Thursday came word that what was considered a slight nervous breakdown had developed into a serious illness.
From the sick woman came a pathetic wish characteristic of her life devoted to the workers in the mines.
“I want to get well,” she said. “I want to be able to get back among the boys.”
When stricken a few days ago, after she had filled an engagement at an outing given by Cincinnati Socialists, she refused to believe she was seriously endangered. She continued with her plans for brightening the lives of the toilers and preaching a gospel of optimism.
“It is nothing.” she said, and Dr. S. J. D. Meade, who is attending her, sought to encourage that belief. Dr. Meade says she will recover as soon as she gets a good rest.
For years the little woman has been the light-hearted ally of the miners throughout the nation.
