Excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt, One Day of His Life: Reconstructed From Contemporaneous Accounts of His Political Campaign of 1912 and Prepared as a Souvenir of the Third Annual Dinner of the Roosevelt Association of Jersey City

Theodore Roosevelt's veneration for Abraham Lincoln was one of the passions of his life; and so it was singularly appropriate that the movement to publicly perpetuate the memory of Roosevelt on the part of the people of Jersey City originated in the councils of our own time-honored Lincoln Association. Mr. Roosevelt's death occurred January 6, 1919; five days later, a committee that was then at work on the annual Lincoln celebration, Robert A. Alberts, Hon. Marshall Van Winkle, Clarence M. Owens, Dr. G. K. Dickinson and W. H. Richardson, was in session at Mr. Alberts' residence. The founding of a similar organization designed for the purpose of translating Theodore Roosevelt into our own citzenship was propounded by Mr. Alberts.

So far as we know, our Lincoln Association was the first in the country to recognize the historic and idealistic value of such an organization with the character of Abraham Lincoln as its background; we believed when the Roosevelt Association was proposed, on January 11, 1919, that we were the first to enter into a similar patriotic compact to reverently remember Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Henry A. Wise Wood, Vice-President of the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial Association, courteously advises us that while her husband was attending Col. Roosevelt's funeral on January 9th, 1919, she and Mrs. Wm. Curtiss Demarest were telephoning friends to enlist them in that organization. It is a pleasure to yield our claim for priority into the hands of so capable and energetic a group of splendid and purposeful women.

At the time, Mr. Alberts was president of the Lincoln Association and deeply involved with the details of our approaching annual dinner, an affair which has become one of the historic celebrations of the city. Another impetus was given to the progress of the new organization during a meeting of the Bergen Lodge Realty Company, February 11, 1919, when the following were present: George E. Bailey, Thos. H. Hall, Howard B. Jackson, Richard A. Lawless, Edward H. Leetch, Wilbur E. Mallalieu, Theodore F. Merseles, Donald J. Sargent, Chas. L. Simpson, Dr. Henry Spence, Chas. V. Tuthill and Geo. C. Warren, Jr.
