Lowman, who served as mayor of Oskaloosa, Kansas, was born in Shelocta, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on January 27, 1842. She married George W. Lowman in 1866 and moved to Kansas. Mary became the mother of two children.
She taught for many years in Pennsylvania and Kansas, including three years in Kansas when Mary focused her attention on teaching newly emancipated African-Americans.
Also committed to fighting for religious causes, Mary, a Presbyterian, gave significant time to this work.
Mary was Assistant to the Register of Deeds, her husband, in her hometown of Oskaloosa, Kansas before running for and being elected mayor in 1888. She and her team of female council members were very successful in administering Oskaloosa, and they were reelected in 1889. They received many notices in the press and much attention.
Tragically, as the Topeka State Journal explains, Mary died ""from burns sustained when her clothing caught fire, while preparing a meal"" at her home in Oskaloosa. She passed away the next day, June 2, 1912, and was buried in Oskaloosa's Pleasant View Cemetery.
In the article discussing her passing, Topeka State Journal described Mary as ""a woman of fine character and rare good sense and the finest modesty, and she bravely and quietly, with her assistants, went on with the work of governing the little city of a thousand people, and it was well governed, too, and an example set that told for the right for years following.""",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-10610349.299287 4751849.7825107)|POINT(-8827804.3587251 4961684.8954115)|14|-8827699.2578112|4961489.7719819|osm

She attended Ripley Female College (now Green Mountain College) in Poultney, VT, graduated in 1866 and moved back to NY to live with her extended family. Eventually, she got married to Charles Rohlfs, an actor and stove designer who later became an internationally acclaimed furniture designer on November 25, 1884. Mrs. Rohlfs and her husband raised three children; a daughter, Rosamund, and two sons, Sterling and Roland in Buffalo, NY.
Anna became a popular author and novelist. Her early poetic ambitions were bolstered by a meeting with Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was one of the first writers in the detective fiction genre, and Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Metta Victor were virtually her only predecessors in the writing of such fiction. Anna had the advantage of her father, James Wilson Green's career having a major influence on her as he was an attorney who practiced in New York and was involved in many criminal cases. Her most famous detective novels include her first novel, which has been regarded as the first American detective novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878) and Marked ""Personal"" (1893). Other popular works of hers include, The Defense of the Bride and other poems, Risifi’s Daughter The Sword of Damocles"" (1881), ""Hand and Ring"" (1883), ""X. Y. Z."" (1883), ""A Strange Disappearance ""(1885), ""The Mill Mystery"" (1886), ""7 to 12"" (1887), ""Behind Closed Doors"" (1888). ""The Forsaken Inn"" (1890). ""A Matter of Millions"" (1890), ""The Old Stone House"" (1891), ""Cynthia Wakeham's Money"" (1892).

Rusk and Mary Elizabeth Martin. Her parents moved to Wisconsin with their family when Charity was three years old, and she lost her mother when she was five years old. Her father remarried soon after, and Charity eventually had four additional siblings. After attending a Catholic school for one year, the teenage Charity attended private school before graduating from The University of Wisconsin.
She was passionate about gaining knowledge and was a lifelong learner. As Charity's 1893 A Woman of the Century profile noted, ""she has had systematic studies every year since she left school."" When her father was elected as a Republican Congressman in 1870, Charity and her family moved to Washington, D.C., and she continued her studies there.
Charity married Elmer Horace Craig, who shared her love of the Classics, in 1875. Between 1876 and 1890, they became the parents of six children.
While living in Viroqua, Wisconsin, Charity participated in philanthropic and women's activities. She became a leader of the regional, then state, and finally national chapters of the Woman's Relief Corps. Charity was part of the Executive Board National Council by 1887, was elected President the next September, and served in that capacity for a year. Two of her many colleagues were Kate Brownlee Sherwood and Annie Turner Wittenmyer.
During the mid-1890s, Charity was instrumental in fundraising for the National Relief Corps Home in Madison, Wisconsin. As The National Tribune noted on May 10, 1894, in an article that detailed her efforts,""Past National President Charity Rusk Craig, a woman of practical sense and ready resources, has inaugurated a movement to put the National Relief Corps Home on solid footing, and give it an assured and steady income.""
In addition to her work for the National Relief Corps Home, Charity served on the Woman's Auxiliary Board for the Wisconsin semi-centennial in April of 1896.
Later that year, due to Elmer's health issues, the family left Wisconsin and moved to the exquisite Queen Anne home they had built in Asheville, North Carolina. After she was widowed in 1898, Charity continued to be active with the Woman's Relief Corps. Charity sold her home in 1913 and moved to nearby Skyland, North Carolina, where she passed away on November 11 of that year. She was buried in Viroqua Cemetery in Viroqua, Wisconsin near her husband and two of her children.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-9131649.3279144 4818789.1104243)|POINT(-9022487.6969099 5015991.8660584)|15|-9131520.9562548|4818805.5697649|osm

Early in her career, Stella was a teacher in Osceola WI, but she made her major mark in journalism. After marrying newspaper editor Samuel S. Fifield and starting a family, Stella wrote for The Polk County Press, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, The Bayfield Press. In 1871, Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When The Bayfield Press became The Ashland Press in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper. From 1877, when Sam started The Bayfield Press again, to 1880, she wrote for both papers. Speaking of Stella, the Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region noted: ""she was and is not only a writer of ability, but was capable of rendering practical assistance in the typographical work of the newspaper office"" (4).
The Fifields lived at Evergreen, a beautiful home in Ashland. Samuel became postmaster and was involved in politics. In 1881, he became Lieutenant Governor. Stella served as a leader in the Ashland Chapter of the Chippewa Presbytery and was active in various charitable associations.
Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:
""Sam Fifield and his wife Stella began to camp on Sand Island in 1881....In 1886 they camped on the property which became Camp Stella, and soon after they purchased the property and began developing a permanent camp. While the Fifields sought relief on Sand Island for Stella's hay fever, their camping vacations were part of a popular trend...Organized, communal camps such as Camp Stella offered a more civilized camping experience, with hired help to do the work and other guests to share in recreational activities...It was an affluent, often prominent, clientele....Sam Fifield's yacht Stella was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands"" (310-311).
The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others. In August of 1890, along with Sam and other members of the Wisconsin Press Association, Stella boarded a Pullman sleeper car on the Northern Pacific Railroad for a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Ella A. Giles, a poet whose profile also appears in A Woman of the Century, was in Stella's sleeper car during the trip. Interested in leading and in promoting women, Stella served as a member of the Wisconsin Board of Lady Managers for the Columbian Exposition during the first half of the 1890s.
Stella and Sam continued to enjoy their time on Sand Island. On June 26, 1909, she celebrated Sam's seventieth birthday there with him and numerous guests. After Stella passed away in 1913, she was buried in Ashland's Mount Hope Cemetery.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-9561297.6650336 5193066.2664514)|POINT(-10117421.83305 5875399.7994685)|6|-9822998.9405886|5492645.0753378|osm

As a result, she was bedridden for most of her life. Determined to brighten the lives of others in her situation, she created the Louisville Flower Mission.
During the early years of the Flower Mission, Jennie was contacted by the Harper Brothers, successful New York publishers, to write about her Flower Mission for Harper's Young People. Responding to the publishers, Jennie wrote:
""The mission of flowers has such possibilities, such deep meaning, so much cheer and brightness for the sick, the aged, the poor, the shut-ins, and for the missionaries themselves, that I find my heart bounding with gladness at tne new avenue you have opened for its enlargement""(Duncan, 22).
Word spread about Jennie's mission, and Frances Willard asked Jennie to be the founder of the WCTU's National Flower Mission. Her National and Annual Flower Mission Day, an event on her birthday, June 9, which resulted in flowers in the cells of prisoners throughout the country, continued even after Jennie's death on February 8, 1893.
In addition, Jennie organized the Shut-In Band, a community of people who, like her, were invalids, and provided a way for them to communicate through the periodical Open Window.
She also supported the Louisville Training School for Nurses and the Rest Cottage ""for tired girls and women who have to support themselves"" (161), and established a Louisville chapter of the Order of King's Daughters (Duncan, 43).
