Additional Comments

"I wasn't in the suffragette category, and politics never was my cup of tea."
--Marguerite Ann Newburgh Cole

She made suffrage and political history anyway, becoming the first woman to vote in the United States after the ratification of the 19th Amendment!

Marguerite was a very loving, family woman. A guiding light to her daughter, husband, and four grandchildren. A woman with class, charisma, sharp wit, and intelligence
