Biography

Alice Mary Robertson (1854–1931) dedicated her career to education before entering public service, becoming one of the earliest women elected to the United States Congress and a voice for responsible civic life.

Her advocacy for learning and careful stewardship of the public trust returned again to the communities she cherished, and visitors to Greenhill Cemetery remember her as a barrier-breaking leader who valued both principle and courtesy.
