As a Democratic member from Chelan County, she served 16 years in the House of Representatives before her appointment at the age of 63 to the state office by Governor Clarence D. Martin (1884-1955).

The stamp honors Washington's entrance into the union 50 years prior on November 11th. Secretary of the Washington State Historical Society W.P. Bonney, right, stands ready to receive the stamps which will become part of the collection at the state historical museum in Tacoma. The stamp will be issued only in Olympia on this date and will be available in the remainder of the state on the following day.
