Biography
Elizabeth Minnie Huff was a member of the National Woman's Party and one of the "Silent Sentinels" imprisoned during the 1917-1919 campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. The exact day of her death is unresolved. (January 28, 1891 - 1989; later Elizabeth Minnie Huff Johnson and sometimes recorded as Elisabeth Minnie Johnson)
She was arrested on January 13, 1919 and released on bail, then rearrested that evening and held overnight. On January 14 she was sentenced to five days in the District Jail. No discharge record has been found; the sentence would nominally have run to January 19, which is a calculation rather than a record.
On the name: the scanned original of Doris Stevens’s appendix prints "Elizabeth Huff" on printed page 362. "Elizabeth Hoff" in the retained transcription is a transcription error, rather than a variant printed by Stevens.
The scanned Appendix 4 entry names Elizabeth Huff and describes her wartime work in Washington for the War Department and later the Red Cross. Its January 1919 five-day sentence is already represented; no additional case or custody duration is added.
