Interesting.....I'll have to dig around to see what shoot it was. The first NAA was 1879 and she didn't win that or place in the top 20 if more woman shot then that I don't know.  Mrs Spalding Brown,Hasting, Mi. won the first meet.

Hink..

Cody -

Undoubted the family's best known archer of the 1800 and 1900s. She was much better with a bow then her husband, who was a Dr.

In 1886 she placed 2nd, then won 1887, 1888 & 1889 as Hink mentioned. She took a sabbatical for a number of years, then in 1905 she placed 2nd again to Mrs. Howell, who had also won in 1886.

I may be mistaken on this but I think Howell won every national tournament she entered from 1885 to 1905 except the three years 1887, 1888 & 1889.

This old brownish photograph was probably made from the same negative as your Newspaper clipping, but your clipping retains more detail then this image....
