1106 Historic American Coin (.900) Silver "Mercer Girl" Milk Jug, dated 1862, by Newell Harding & Co., Boston, Massachusetts, the pear-shaped body with acanthus-crested arched handle, integral spout and molded rim and foot-ring, engraved "To Lizzie / from her / Mother Ordway / 1862", h. 6-1/2", dia. 4", l. 5-1/4". Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ordway (1828-1897) was probably the most celebrated of the first "Mercer Girls": a group of eleven young women brought from the east to the Washington Territory by Asa Shinn Mercer (1839-1917) in 1864 to work as teachers and increase the number of marriageable women in the area. (Their story was later immortalized in the 1954 Stanley Donen musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the 1968-1970 CBS television series Here Come the Brides.) Ordway, at 35, was the oldest of the women who responded to Mercer, the twenty-five-year-old newly elected president of the University of Washington in Seattle, when he appeared at the Unitarian Church in Lowell, Massachusetts, in March of 1864. He offered honorable work and good wages to educated women of good moral standing who were willing to make the journey to the Pacific coast (and who could afford the $250 transportation fee). After an arduous trip involving a train to New York, then a ten-day sea voyage to Panama, another train across the Isthmus, fifteen days at sea to San Francisco, followed by seventeen more days aboard a lumber bark to Puget Sound, and finally one more day on a sloop, the group arrived at Seattle on May 16, 1864. Ordway began teaching on Whidbey Island and soon became a driving force behind public education in the Washington Territory, later working in several cities, including Seattle, Port Madison and Port Blakely. She was an ardent suffragist, and accompanied Susan B. Anthony from San Francisco to Seattle in 1871. Ordway was elected Kitsap County school superintendent in 1881, much to the chagrin of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer which editorialized "It may be a good joke to put a woman in nomination, but I do not regard the office of school superintendent of so little importance as to vote for a woman at the polls". She continued to act with the County Education Board certifying new teachers after her term as superintendent, and in 1891 assisted in the preparation of the new state's (Washington joined the union in 1889) exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. She died in September of 1897 and is buried in Seattle's Lake View Cemetery. Unlike the other Mercer Girls, whose descendants constitute a significant portion of Seattle's population today, Ordway never married, but she is remembered with the Ordway Elementary School on Bainbridge Island which bears her name, and on the Washington State Historical Society's Honor Roll. This Massachusetts-manufactured silver pitcher was presented to Lizzie when she was 34, according to the date, two years before she left for Seattle. The presenter "Mother Ordway" was her stepmother, Harriet Heald, whom her father Enoch Ordway had married in 1842; Lizzie's mother, Mary, had died some time earlier. Doubtless the pitcher accompanied Lizzie to Seattle, and it stands as a fascinating artifact of one of the most memorable group of pioneers in the Pacific Northwest: the courageous Mercer Girls.
