Death Of An American Comrade (1937)

Obituary from the May 1937 issue of the Socialist Standard

Local Boston of the Workers’ Socialist Party is sorry to announce the death of Comrade Doris Ober, of influenza, on February 17th.

The Socialist movement has suffered a great loss by her death. As a result of her constant activity she succeeded in attracting many other young girls to the movement.

The inspiration of a class-conscious girl rebel at the present stage was a real stimulus, and, realising the accuracy of her oft-repeated statement that “Socialism is the only thing worth living for,” we are determined to close ranks and carry on.
