- Angie Josephine KING: Third woman lawyer in Wisconsin, and
first admitted to practice before
- the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Ran for Janesville postmaster.She
won by a majority of votes after a "wild campaign"
wherein "boys paraded the streets with banners and transparencies
bearing all manner of ludicrous cartoons and mottoes." However,
Congressman Hopkins declined to endorse her. She visited newly-elected
President U. S. Grant and presented her case, but Grant declined
to act without Hopkins' support.
