Adrianna Hungerford

In 1879, she married Dr. Stephen Edwin Hungerford (1849–1939),^[2] of Dansville, New York. In 1886, the couple settled in Boulder, Colorado, and ten years later (1896), they removed to Denver.^[1]

After becoming a resident of Colorado, Hungerford joined the WCTU, and became actively engaged in temperance work. She served as treasurer of the local Union at Boulder, and then as president of the Denver Union. She was later elected State superintendent of Legislation and Christian Citizenship, and among her activities in this position was a compilation of the State laws relating to the liquor traffic, with a view of making clear to the citizens in general and to women in particular what they might do under the law to protect themselves against the saloon issues. She was elected vice-president of the State Union in 1902, and president in 1904,^[1][3] retiring from the position in 1942.^[4]

Hungerford led the women of Colorado in three State-wide campaigns: the first in 1912, an educational and preparatory one for Constitutional Prohibition; the second in 1914; and the third in 1910. She also had a prominent part in committee work in the National WCTU. She specialized on legislation and law enforcement, and she maintained close relationship with the State and Federal enforcement officers.^[1]

They had a son, Leo.^[5]

Adrianna Hungerford died in Denver, January 20, 1946.^[4]
