It so happened that Sonora attended a Mother's Day Sermon in 1909 and she was
struck with the noble idea that society must observe a day to honor the important contribution made by father in the raising of children. Encouraged by the love of her father, William Smart, a civil war veteranwho single-handedly raised her along with her five siblings after the death of her mother, Sonora worked rd to make her concept a reality.
