Despite being an orphan she urged her local Methodist ministers for a church service to honour fathers in 1908. The observance took place with regards to an incident of a mining disaster. About 362 local men were killed and it had an impact on her. She realised that it was important to celebrate the fathers and it inspired her to urge the church services.
