Mary Reibey Photo Description
Photo Description
This is a photo of Mary Reibey. At the time that this photo was taken she looks to be an elder since her wrinkles, grey hair and goldish metal made glasses give it mostly away.She also has a concerned strait look on her face. This photo looks to be taken supposably around the time when she died, which is about seventy two. She is not skinny and looks to be fed well which most likely meant that Mary did do well and had plenty of money to keep her and her seven children fed well, which she did. Mary is wearing a cream peachy coloured cardigan and a black piece of clothing underneath. Most likely a dress, since that's what they used to wear back then. The dress also looks to have a white lace collar. She is wearing a white Lace Bonnet with blue

    She holds a bunch of daffodils and anemones, and the basket contains daffodils, narcissus, and anemones. These individually hand-made flowers vary from edition to edition.

As noted, the decoration usually centres on the orange shawl, the dress with varying stripes of blue, yellow and green, occasionally red. A distinct variation occurs in the version with the large apron, and has orange stripes overlain with dark blue chevrons. A complete change is the blue shawl from, which appears in the larger apron versions, tied and edged with yellow. The dress has stripes of varying widths and shades of blue, with more white shown between the stripes.

She passed away soon after. John Noyes, Mary's first husband, had lived with epilepsy longer than the doctors originally expected, but soon he succumbed to death as well. Having her family a distance away, Mary clutched on to John's mother as to a rock. In November 1768, the older Madam Noyes went to bed in good health but was found dead the next morning. For the first time, Mary found herself alone to take on the responsibilities of the household and family head. In May of 1770, Mary's only daughter, then 4 years old, fell ill. She died ten days later. Mary wrote, "I…felt in some measure resigned, knowing that God could give a good reason why he had thus afflicted me." Despite this statement, Mary's spirit was broken and she fell into a depression, feeling that her faith had died with the child.…

    She was physically alive but mentally and emotionally dead. Mary got separated from two of her children and was left with the youngest who was wounded and died shortly there after in Mary’s hand due to lack of medical attention. Mary learned that her elder daughter was held in the town that she was but never saw her. She continued with the Indians on their journey through the wilderness, barely surviving what is now her life. The Indians had stopped at many towns that they conquered, selling the settlers from Lancaster to different sannups and squaws (husband and wife respectively). This was exhausting for Mary as she had to be moving often with different masters each time. She finally saw her son as he was held captive at a settlement that was close by and again was separated shortly thereafter from him. She felt as if the journey was never ending and life was no longer important to her; “When I was returned, I found myself as unsatisfied as I was before […] my sprit was ready to sink with the thoughts of my poor children.”…

She continuously inspires people, including myself, which is one of The Great Eight traits heros tend to have (Cherry, “The Psychology of Heroism”). Ultimately, Mary has somehow turned such an awful event in her life into a positive outcome and now helps people overcome the same event.…

    Mary Pleasant, a Biography

    • 3120 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Mary Pleasant, also widely referred to as “Mammy Pleasant”, is the considered Mother of Civil Rights in California due to her work with the Civil Rights movement during the 1860s. She was an icon during the Gold Rush and Gilded Age San Francisco because of her political power, mainly due to her large fortune and as well as her influence, in the cause and in her fellow citizens. Her achievements as an abolitionist went unmatched until the late 1960s, during which other laws regarding slavery were passed; although her achievements were surpassed, it was her work that helped set off the chain reaction of events that led to the greater triumphs of the Civil Rights movement. Following the Civil War, Pleasant brought her battles to the courts in the 1860s, and claimed a handful of human rights victories. One of those victories, Pleasant vs. North Beach & Mission Railroad Company, was heavily cited and advocated in the 1980s, which is the main reason behind why Pleasant is known today as “The Mother of Human Rights in California”. Pleasant was a woman of half African descent. She helped shape early San Francisco and furthered the Civil Rights movements. Her ability to “love across boundaries of race and class without losing sight of her goal –the equality for herself and her people” is what makes Pleasant the person that she was, and is what makes of her what people see her for today, as The Mother of Human Rights in California.
