Sarah Wallace Pease, ca. 1870

Pease (1840-1909) came Laramie in 1869 with her husband, attorney (later judge) Lorenzo Dow Pease. She was also one of the first women to serve jury duty when she replaced Agnes Chase Baker. She was elected superintendent of public schools in 1892 and served two terms. She was the only member of that first grand jury who wrote a firsthand account about it.
