Abstract:

The town of Dover, North Carolina is about nine miles south of Kinston and has a population of only around 600, but the special thing about Dover is that is has a woman mayor and three women commissioners; they are Mayor Annie Wilson, and commissioners Mrs. J.H. Humphrey, Mrs. R.S. Russell, and Mrs. Sarah Griffin.
