Biography

Mrs. William Chisholm was a member of the National Woman's Party and one of the "Silent Sentinels" imprisoned during the 1917-1919 campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. Doris Stevens recorded her term as: September 4, 1917: 60 days at Occoquan.

Case

Arrested: Sep 4, 1917
Incarcerated: Sep 4, 1917
Sentence: September 4, 1917: 60 days at Occoquan. Turning Point Suffragist Memorial reports that Annie D. (Mrs. William) Chisholm was released on personal bond after 12 days. The 60 days was the imposed sentence, not the documented period served. Exact release day remains unresolved.
