Abstract:
Census information from 1980 and changes in demographics caused some counties to reestablish voting districts. Commissioner elections vary between the counties with 35 counties requiring commissioners to live in the district they are elected. The other 56 counties allow any resident of the county to be elected regardless of whether they live in the specific district.

Abstract:
The former Maude Miller had an eventful career history. She was first a schoolteacher at what was called a "pay school" by Hatteras Island residents. She became the county welfare supervisor during the 1930s, gaining experience with the Depression’s effects on the Island. As a postmistress, she was second generation employee (her father served during the 1800s). During World War II, she was a Coastal Observer, with the Navy issuing a service certificate. Of her late husband, Estus Preston White, she noted their common work background in education, with his work on the Board. His local administrative roles included chairman of Methodist Sunday School and electric plant, as well as county administrative work as a commissioner.
