Never Too Old to Vote!
- Newly digitized records reveal Judith Winsor Smith, covered in a chapter of Summer Suffragists, registered in Boston to vote in 1920, at the age of 98. She is now listed on the Mary Eliza Project dataset, #39197, at 11 Roanoke Ave. This is a searchable dataset of 50,000 women who registered to vote once the US Constitution's 19th Amendment was passed.
