Hi My paternal grand mother did not have a particularly unusual occupation as an elevator operator for Gimbal's department store but, it was during an unusual time. It was somewhere between 1917 and 1919 at the early stages of woman suffrage. She was photographed as being the first female elevator operator in the US. I only saw the photo one time. It was in a history book when I was a HS sophomore in 1951. I have been trying to find that photo for years. Any ideas???? Thanks Jim
