The Wilmington Mercury was a newspaper based in Wilmington, Delaware. It was the state's first major newspaper, having been founded in September 1798. [1]
The Mercury was founded by W. C. Smyth in September 1798 as a response to the outbreak of yellow fever going through Wilmington, Philadelphia, and New York City. [2] It was published daily and given without charge. All issues included the names of those who had died in the last 24 hours, as well as encouraged donations to the Board of Health. [3] Though it first had just listed deaths in Wilmington, by October 4 it listed Philadelphia and New York City too. It also listed the names of people who contributed to the Board of Health as well as gave important advice about dealing with the outbreak. When the epidemic subsided in November, The Mercury closed. [2] Its last issue was published on October 30. [4]

Women's suffrage in Pennsylvania was an outgrowth of the abolitionist movement in the state. Early women's suffrage advocates in Pennsylvania not only wanted equal suffrage for white women, but for all African Americans. The first women's rights convention in the state was organized by Quakers and held in Chester County in 1852. Philadelphia would host the fifth National Women's Rights Convention in 1854. Later years saw suffragists forming a statewide group, the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association (PWSA), and other smaller groups throughout the state. Early efforts moved slowly, but steadily, with suffragists raising awareness and winning endorsements from labor unions.
