The idea began in 1909 when Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Washington was listening to a Mother’s Day sermon. She decided she wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart was a Civil War veteran. Widowed, he was left to raise his six children on the family farm. The month of June was chosen and proclaimed in 1910 because this is the month Smart was born.
