The Mother Behind Mother's Day
The originator of Mother’s Day hailed from Henderson County, Ky.

Mary Towles Sasseen was born in Henderson County in 1860 and advocated a holiday to celebrate motherhood. Her first public observance of Mother’s Day was at Center Street School in 1887.

Over a 20-year period, she traveled from Colorado to Florida to New Jersey to promote her mission. Before completing her goal, Sasseen died during childbirth in April 1906.
