Marguerite Ann Newburgh made suffrage and political history. Under the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution (woman suffrage), she was the first woman to vote in the United States in the city of St. Paul, Minnesota on August 27, 1920.
"I wasn't in the suffragette category, and politics never was my cup of tea."
--Marguerite Ann Newburgh Cole
She made suffrage and political history anyway, becoming the first woman to vote in the United States after the ratification of the 19th Amendment!
Marguerite was a very loving, family woman. A guiding light to her daughter, husband, and four grandchildren. A woman with class, charisma, sharp wit, and intelligence.
