Mrs. Ida L. Breeson…… June 27, 1933— January 23, 2020

Our friend and neighbor, Mrs. Ida L. Breeson passed away early this morning after a long struggle with dementia and failing health. Regular readers of The Evening Standard will be familiar with Mrs. Breeson’s name from her long-time byline with the paper.

Mrs. Breeson came on board at the Standard in the days when very few women had bylines in this country. She was hired by our visionary editor in chief, Barney McArtner, who was largely responsible for putting and keeping this newspaper at the forefront of ambitious, fact-based journalism in the mid to late 20th century. We are fortunate to have his son, Andrew, in charge of the paper’s operations today. Andrew McArtner and his family made the announcement early this morning from Faith Memorial Hospital regarding Mrs. Breeson’s passing.

While Mrs. Breeson was a strong, independent voice for the rights of women in the workplace and in society, she refused to be called Ms., averring that she was proud to carry the name and association with her late husband, Mr. Gabriel Breeson. The two met in college and came back to Mrs. Breeson’s childhood home of South Norton. Mr. Breeson established the first Breeson’s Men’s Store in 1948 and today there are six locations in the tri-county area. The Breesons never had children, something that Mrs. Breeson was vocal about. She was a woman of strong opinions and one of those opinions was that a full-time career was not conducive to being a mother.

She began writing for The Evening Standard in 1950 and quickly used her byline as a platform for her strong anti-war sentiments. She spoke out against the “police action” in Korea and was a powerful advocate for the peace movement of the 1960s and ’70s. To his credit, Mr. McArtner, in spite of his support for Presidents Johnson and Nixon, never tried to censor Mrs. Breeson.

Funeral arrangements are being made by the McArtner family with details to be announced.
