Note
Mary McWhorter, from Illinois, was a prominent Irish-American campaigner for the republican cause. She was President of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) from 1916-21. During this period the organisation had over 75,000 members. The Ladies AOH was founded in 1894. McWhorter held a meeting with American President Woodrow Wilson to make a case for Irish freedom. She presented a petition with over 600,000 signatures to President Wilson, demanding an Irish Republic following the end of the Great War.
