Question

I'd really like to find out....

Answer 1

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father's Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father's death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

The History of Fathers Day

Dr. Robert Webb held what is believed to have been the first Father's Day celebration at the Central Church of Fairmont, in Fairmont, West Virginia in 1908. Most likely this celebration originated from observations of Mother's Day, which also had its birth in West Virginia.

However, it was the efforts of Sonora Louise Smart Dodd that really led to instituting Father's Day as an official holiday in the United States. Sonora lived in Spokane, Washington, and came up with the idea of Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.

Sonora's father, William Jackson Smart, was a Civil War veteran and had lost his wife as she bore their sixth child. William raised the six children on his own. Sonora felt her father was very loving, courageous, and selfless. Her father's birthday was in June and Sonora chose June 19th, 1909 for the celebration to honor fathers. Many report this as the first Father's Day celebration.

We should also give some credit to Harry C. Meek, the president of the Lions Club of Chicago. He made several speeches expressing the need for a holiday to honor fathers. In 1920, the club presented him with a watch bearing the inscription, "Originator of Father's Day".

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge showed his support for Father's Day becoming a national holiday. However, Father's Day did not become an official holiday in the United States until many years later. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed the third Sunday in June be Father's Day.

Note: it is a Father’s Day tradition to wear a red rose if your father is living, and a white rose if he is deceased.

Answer 3

Father’s Day, 3rd Sunday in June. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
