She Voted
My grandmother's first cousin, Lillian Hildur Ingeborg Johnson, was one of the first women to vote in the State of Connecticut. I shared her headstone recently on Tombstone Tuesday.
I don't know anything about her politics, but I'm sure she would have exercised her right to vote today.
She passed away in 2004 at the age of 107.
