Fathers Day came about
by Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd.
Her Father a Civil War
veteran,
was widowed when his wife
(Mrs. Dodd's mother)
died in childbirth with
their sixth child.
Mr. Smart was left to
raise the
newborn and his other
five children
by himself on a rural
farm in eastern
Washington state.
It was after Mrs. Dodd
became an adult that
she realized the strength
and selflessness
her father had shown in
raising his
children as a single parent.
Sonora wanted her
father to know
how special he was to
her. Mrs Dodd's
father was born in June,
so she chose to have the
first
Father's Day elebration
on June 19, 1910 in Spokane
Washington
At about the same time
in various towns
and cities across America
other
people were beginning
to celebrate a "father's day."
In 1924 President Calvin
Coolidge
supported the idea of
a national Father's Day.
Finally in 1966 President
Lyndon Johnson
signed a presidential
proclamation
declaring the 3rd Sunday
of June as Father's Day.
