Dalrymple, Zena

Zena Dalrymple was elected County Clerk and Clerk for the District Court in Uvalde County, Texas in 1906. She had been hired to serve as deputy clerk for the county previously to being elected. The Dallas Morning News mistakenly reported that in winning the two offices, Dalrymple was not the only woman elected to any office by the voters of Texas. In fact, two women had been elected in 1904, and two women, in additional to Dalrymple, gained office in 1906. Zena Dalrymple continued to be elected to county level offices in Uvalde County well into the 1920s.
