  • Women Postmasters
    Women Postmasters Women served as Postmasters in the United States more than a century before they won the right to vote. Over the course of the 1800s, the number of women Postmasters increased from fewer than a dozen to more than 6,000. By the end of the twentieth century, more than half of all Postmasters were women. Although sometimes popularly called "postmistresses," their official title has always been "Postmaster." Women Postmasters in the Colonies Several women ran Post Offices under the British postal system in North America. In Salem, Massachusetts, the Post Office was reportedly kept by two women, Lydia Hill and Molly Gill.1 Hill reportedly served as Postmaster for many years before her death in 1768.2 Sarah Goddard was no stranger to postal business — her late husband, Giles Goddard, had been the Postmaster of New London, Connecticut. In 1764, Sarah joined her son William in Providence, Rhode Island, where he ran a newspaper and print shop and served as Postmaster. Shortly thereafter, William left Providence to pursue business ventures in New York and Philadelphia, leaving the Providence Post Office and print shop in the care of Sarah.3 In 1773, William Goddard moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where he started another newspaper and printing business. A few months later, he was joined by his sister Mary Katherine, “a skilled printer in her own right.”4 While William travelled, she ran the day-to-day business of the print shop, which by 1775 had become Baltimore’s Post Office, with Mary Katherine serving as Postmaster. First Women Postmasters in the United States Mary Katherine Goddard was the only known woman Postmaster when Benjamin Franklin was named the first American Postmaster General in July 1775, making her the first known woman Postmaster in the United Colonies, predecessor of the United States.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOL. XX’VI SEPTEMBER, 1930 NUMBER3 Amos Lane, Advocate of Western Democracy By WENDELLHOLMES STEPHENSON THE CALL OF THE WEST In the quarter-century following the War of 1812, Amos Lane was a familiar figure in southeastern Indiana as he traveled the ill-kept roads and bridle-paths of the third judicial circuit, astride his sixty-dollar horse, “Big Sorrel.” The fash- ionable eel-skin queue and “wilted rorum hat” identified him as an itinerant attorney. Eager for political advancement, he mingled in the court yard with tillers of the soil and hewers of wood and won a seat in the lower branch of the first state legis- lature, which elevated him to the speakership at its second ses- sion. A weathervane in politics, he renounced the nationalism of Adams and Clay for the more popular democracy of Andrew Jackson. Although he boasted “That he wore no collar-no man’s yoke,” so ardently did he defend his hero in congress that he earned the sobriquet of “Wheel Horse.” He surpassed his idol in one respect at least ; he could swear mightier oaths than even the proficient Jackson. A contemporary asserted that when he mounted the stump and hurled sarcasm and in- vective at his political opponents, he was “heard to grit and grind his teeth together fifty yards.”l Indeed his long and loud ebullient tirades annoyed his enemies, and they dubbed him “the Ajax Telamon of the Party.” Like his Greek proto- type, he was always ready to defend his personal honor, al- though it is not of record that he ever served in th.e army.
