From Paul Avrich’s biography of Voltairine

Voltairine de Cleyre “died on Thursday morning, June 20, 1912, just after 11 o'clock.‑

On Sunday, June 23rd, she was buried in the Waldheim Cemetery , beside the graves of the Haymarket anarchists whose martyrdom had inspired her life. Two thousand mourners attended, among them representatives of the Workmen's Circle, the Bohemian Bakers' and Turners' Unions, the Jewish Cabinetmakers' Union, the Women's 'Progress' Society, and the English, Hungarian, Czech, and Italian branches of the I.W.W. (including William D. Haywood, Vincent St. John, and William Trautmann). Voltairine's mother and sister came from St. Johns to attend the burial. ‘As my sis­ter lay in her casket,’ Addie recalls, ‘Mrs. Lucy Parsons stood beside her and arranged a spray of red carnations on it; and a hush fell on the crowd.’ A small simple stone marks her grave, inscribed with her name and dates; and when comrades visit the Haymarket monument, ‘they lovingly remember Voltairine de Cleyre.’

On the evening of the funeral, a memorial meeting was held in Philadelphia, arranged by the Radical Library, with George Brown and Chaim Weinberg among the speakers. On the stage hung a large picture of Voltairine decorated in red and black. The next day, a similar gathering took place on the Lower East Side in New York, where Alexander Berkman, Harry Kelly, and Saul Yanovsky addressed a hushed audience. In Los Angeles, Regeneration declared that ‘the Mexican peon has lost a true and powerful friend’”...

“Edited by Alexander Berkman, with a biographical sketch by Havel, the Selected Works of Voltairine de Cleyre, 'an arsenal of knowledge for the student and soldier of freedom,' appeared in 1914 under the imprint of the Mother Earth Publishing Association.

For the next few years memorial meetings were held in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles on the anniversary of Voltairine de Cleyre's death. Her poem ‘The Hurricane’ was set to music by George Ed­ wards, who had offered Emma Goldman the use of his Musical Institute of San Diego during the free-speech fight of 19 12. Leonard Abbott included Voltairine in his lecture course on radical literature at the Ferrer Center in New York. And her poems were recited at children's entertainments at the Ferrer Colony in Stelton, whose main street was named in her honor. ‘She has left the stage," said her Chicago comrade Jay Fox, ‘but her memory will linger long, like the odor of a fragrant rose crushed at full bloom; like the impress of a great thought flashed on the mind.’ The most moving tribute, however, came from Will Duff in Glasgow: ‘Voltairine,

I am pleased to have been your friend and comrade, for you were one of the bravest, truest, and sweetest women that ever lived. You need no stone nor funeral bell; you are tombed in the true hearts that loved you well.’”
