Currently am looking for the article regarding my grandmother's election to the school board as the first female ever elected. I have tried the newspaper to no avail twice -- they just don't answer letters or telephone calls. I have tried the library and they answered but cannot help -- they told me they are not archived past 1964. Julia Andes (nee Carolan) was born in Ireland (place unknown) about 1875 and moved to the US in 1892, becoming a nanny in NYC. By 1898 she was married; by 1906 she was living at 287 Grace St., Secaucus, with 4 of her 6 children and husband. She had 2 other children born in NJ by 1911. Sometime in the 30s, 40s or maybe even as late as the 50s (but I don't think so) she ran for the school board and was elected as the first female ever to serve. I am assuming this made the newspaper since it was such an historic event. I would be willing to pay someone (a genealogist) if they could do the research and get me a copy of the article that appeared in the paper. I currently have a call in the Board of Education to see if they can help me. Thanks in advance. Judy in NC
