| 释义 |
In 1911, a group of Dayton residents who were unhappy with the current mayor encouraged Wissler to run for mayor. Though Wissler initially rejected the idea, she eventually chose to run for office; her non-partisan campaign focused on improving Dayton's moral and financial welfare, as her opponent had been criticized for failing to license and regulate the town's saloons.[2] Wissler won the election by a nine-vote majority, making her Wyoming's first female mayor. While she has been claimed to be the first female mayor in the United States, that honor belongs to Susanna M. Salter, who was elected mayor of Argonia, Kansas in 1887.[3][4] Wissler was reelected twice and served three years in office; highlights of her tenure included heightened regulations on local saloons and the construction of Dayton's first water works.[2] After leaving office, Wissler moved to her daughter's ranch in Ashland, Montana in 1915. She retired to a rest home in Dayton in 1935, where she died in 1939.[2] Her home in Dayton is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=Federal Writers Project|title=Wyoming: A Guide to Its History, Highways, and People|date=January 1, 1941|publisher=North American Book Dist LLC|isbn=9780403021994|page=378|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QkgCBFTGdr4C&pg=PA378|accessdate=September 9, 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wissler, Susan}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last=Tinker|first=David|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Susan Wissler House|url={{NRHP url|id=84003703}}|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=September 9, 2014|author2=Michael Gorman |date=February 21, 1983}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Blair|first1=Pat|title=Dayton House Was Home to Wyoming's First Woman Mayor|url=http://www.sheridanmedia.com/news/dayton-house-was-home-wyomings-first-woman-mayor70318|accessdate=September 9, 2014|work=Sheridan Media|date=April 12, 2014|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6STRWnPGC|archivedate=September 9, 2014|deadurl=no}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Susanna Madora Salter|url=https://emilytaylorcenter.ku.edu/pioneer-woman/salter|publisher=Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, Kansas University|accessdate=December 30, 2016}} 5. ^{{NRISref|2010a}} 8 : 1853 births|1939 deaths|People from Sheridan County, Wyoming|Mayors of places in Wyoming|Women in Wyoming politics|Women mayors of places in the United States|20th-century American politicians|20th-century American women politicians |
