Narrative
"When elected mayor of Camak, GA, she was the first woman mayor in the state and highly honored by both state and national government leaders, including the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt. After her third marriage, she moved to Louisville, KY, where my stepfather was employed by the Western Union Telegraph Co. With the elder of my two sisters, she operated a laundry pick-up and clothing alteration store for several years, using her free time in restoring and remodeling several houses. After my stepfather's death, she was associated with a real estate developing company. At the time of her death, she was the developer of a subdivision near North Vernon, Indiana.", James W.
