Sarah Jane Corson Downs (née, Corson; also known as "Mother Downs"; December 19, 1822 – November 10/11, 1891) was a 19th-century American temperance activist and social reformer. She was one of the best-known temperance advocates in the U.S., and was the state organizer in New Jersey of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Since the organization of the State union, she served as its president.[1] She was also an active worker in the church. Central in her life was Evangelical Methodism.[2] Downs traveled thousands of miles up and down the State of New Jersey, wrote voluminously, and spoke at hundreds of gatherings. She always took an active part in the services of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association.[3]
