We are sad in spite of ourselves that she has gone. But we shall only remember her as one of the greatest benefactors of woman in literature; one of the most delightful of all the delightful characters that we have ever known. Resolutions of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs In Memoriam Mrs. Jane Cunningham Croly
Croly and her wonderful work among women, is a privilege we appreciate, and I shall try in a few simple, honest words, to explain a little of what her influence has been to the New York State Federation. We all know she was an organizer and founder, but it is well to repeat those words, although I think there is little danger that we shall ever forget them.
Though departed, she is still with us, and the beauty of her life remains, in that its influence is imperative. Mrs. Croly had that particular sense of fellowship among women most unusual. If you will stop to think, in our language you will find that there are no words to express that thought, except those that are masculine fellowship, brotherhood, fraternity. Mrs.
Harold and Herbert, though well pleased with the idea of taking their friend Croly into the family, were loath to part with Rosie, their youngest and only single sister, the only one now left in the Ion family.

The troops, the priests, the populace, the world, passed from before my senses like phantoms.

She conceived great ideas and passed them on for the executive work of others to fulfil. I can assure you she was everything to us. Her English birth gave her an instinctive insight into English character.
After Edgar had gone, the sturdy brain and hand of D.G. Croly took the matter in charge and actually made the growth start. Then the World, with him at its head, evoked and published John Fiske's "Lectures on Positivism," far better in their first shape than when pared and cooked over into the "Cosmic Philosophy." Then came the "Modern Thinker" and "Positive Primer." Then Dr.
Croly did come not only the well-wishing and the patient labor, but also a foretaste of her reward. Her days were extended until her purposes fulfilled met the gratitude of her successors.
The City seems so much more in earnest; its business, its rush, its roar, are such serious things, sights, sounds. The City is getting its living the West End but enjoying its pleasure. At the West End you may be amused; but in the City you are deeply excited." Their wish had been to hear Dr. Croly on the Sunday morning, and Mr. Williams escorted them to St.
