Alice McGill's Campaign for County Register of Deeds, 1900

McGill, Alice

Alice McGill was elected as register of deeds (circa 1900) for Graham County, Kansas. She was one of several women to hold this position in Kansas in this period. Elected by all-male voters, these women often proved themselves in lower, appointed positions in the deeds office and subsequently ran for the elected position as individuals known and respected by the eligible male voters.
