Who was the first woman elected to the Vermont State House of Representatives?

 April 8th Question: In 1880, the copper mines in Vershire, Vermont produced over three million pounds of copper (three-fifths of the entire copper output of the United States) and the town decided to change its name to honor the man who owned the mines. In 1882, the town changed its name back to Vershire. From1880-1882, what was the name of the town?  

 Answer: The town's name was changed to Ely in 1878 after Smith Ely, a local business man who owned the majority of the Vermont Copper Company.
