Sarah W. Pease ran for County Superintendent of Schools of Albany County, Wyoming in 1884. She lost to her female opponent. But Pease ran again and served in the office for several terms. In 1899 she was the defendant in a state supreme court case concerning her 1894 election and how her political affiliation was listed on the ballot. Pease also was one of the first seven women to serve on a grand jury in Wyoming (and the nation), in 1870.
