I have an original cabinet card photo of “Susanna Madora Salter - age 90”, taken in about 1950 in Norman (Cleveland) OK, which I would like to get back to family.

I found Susanna M. Salter in the 1900 census for Alva (Woods) OK, wife of Lewis A. Salter, attorney. Susanna’s birth is listed as Mar 1860 in PA. That location has to be in error, for censuses of 1860, 1870, 1910, 1920 and 1940 all show she was born in OH. Find A Grave states that Susanna Salter was the first female mayor in the United States. She was daughter of Oliver Kinsey and “Terissa Ann (White) Kinsey”. Husband Lewis was the son of a Kansas Lt. Gov. In 1887, Susanna was elected mayor of Argonia (Sumner Co.) KS.
