Betty Mary Smith Goetting

Betty Mary Smith Goetting (1897-1980) fue una destacada activista de la comunidad de El Paso y apoyó muchos proyectos sociales y cívicos, respaldó los derechos de la mujer y participó en el movimiento de control de la natalidad. Nacida en Jefferson, Texas, la familia se mudó a El Paso en 1910. Goetting (entonces Smith) se graduó en la escuela secundaria de El Paso. Luego trabajó como bibliotecaria en la Biblioteca Pública de El Paso, donde se hizo muy amiga de la jefa de bibliotecarios, Maud Durlin Sullivan. Para continuar su educación dejó El Paso, pero regresó y se casó con Charles A. Goetting. Tuvieron dos hijos. En los años 20, Betty Mary se volvió muy activa en la comunidad: Junto con otras mujeres, organizó un libro y un club de historia, y participó en el movimiento de control de la natalidad. En 1937, junto con otros activistas, Goetting abrió el Centro de Salud para Madres de El Paso (más tarde llamado Centro de Planificación Familiar de El Paso), y fue nombrada su primera presidenta. En sus inicios, el Centro ofrecía anticonceptivos, materiales educativos y asesoramiento matrimonial. Goetting también trabajó en otras organizaciones, como el Woman's Club of El Paso, el Consejo Comunitario del Tórax de El Paso, la Sociedad Histórica del Condado de El Paso y muchas más. Goetting recibió muchos premios por su dedicación, entre ellos el Premio Margaret Sanger en 1966.

March is Women's History Month.

Olga Berstein Kohlberg Ceremony

Mrs. Powell is enjoying the event honoring Olga Bernstein Kohlberg. The Official Texas Historical Commission Marker Dedication Ceremony was held on January 21, 2015 at the Woman's Club of El Paso, 1400 N. Mesa El Paso TX. Mrs. Kohlberg (Olga Berstein Kohlberg) was one of the pioneer women of El Paso. In 1884 she left her home, the Rhineland country of Germany, to follow her husband Ernst to El Paso. He was a successful businessman there. Since then, Mrs. Kohlberg was a civic leader and, together with other women, brought into being many projects essential for the growing city at the Rio Grande. Serving on many boards and being active in various groups, Mrs. Kohlberg promoted educational and health issues. In the following, a few of her projects will be named to point out the diversity and intensity of her work: Together with The Ladies' Benevolent Association she established the city's first hospital in 1892 and also supported other charitable projects throughout the years. She supported the education of very young children and students; Mrs. Kohlberg was one of the thriving forces behind the establishment of the first free public kindergarten in Texas and supported the first public library, becoming president of its board in 1903. She served twice as president of the El Paso Women's Club, established in 1898, and was an honorary board member for the rest of her live. She also guided the restoration of the three parks of the city. The Kohlberg family was also active in the Jewish community, supporting the Mount Sinai Jewish congregation in 1898, and the building of Temple Mount Sinai in 1903. In a tribute to Olga Bernstein Kohlberg, Mrs. Charles A. Goetting wrote: “[T]hose of us who knew her, whose lives she touched, can vouch for her indomitable spirit, her dignity, her tolerance, her integrity, her calm, courageous manner and her persistence in working for the best for the community.” (Source: Website of the El Paso County Historical Society) Mr. and Mrs. Kohlberg had four children, three boys and one girl.
