Sonora Smart Dodd, the "mother of fathers' day," was inspired by two things: (1) her own widowed father, and (2) the growing observance of
Mothers' Day across the United States. The first Fathers' Day was celebrted in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, where both Sonora and her father now lie at rest in Greenwood Cemetery. [2019]
