Estelle Lawton Lindsey

Estelle Lawton Lindsey (ca. 1868–1955) was a 20th Century journalist who was also the first female City Council member in Los Angeles, California, (1915–17) the first woman to preside over the City Council there and the first woman to act as mayor in any American city of comparable size.
==Biography==

Estelle Lawton was born in South Carolina, and while living in the South she engaged in china painting and portrait sketching. She told an interviewer in 1935 that this "genteel pastime" was "far from remunerative," so she decided to become a writer. She gained her first experience in "reporting Chautauquas" (lectures) for the local press. She was at one time a German teacher and taught school in Owensboro, Kentucky. She also worked for the Internal Revenue Service in Kentucky, where she met the man she married, Dudley Lindsey. They moved to Los Angeles in 1908, making their home at 2416 Echo Park Avenue,〔(Location of the Lindsey home on ''Mapping L.A.'' )〕 and she wrote for the ''Los Angeles Tribune'' and the ''Los Angeles Express.'' After her City Council service, she wrote a syndicated newspaper column and was active in civic and philanthropic work.〔(Mrs. Lindsey, First L.A.

Lindsey died at the age of 87 on November 27, 1955, in Glendale, California, after a fall in her home, and she was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. She was survived by her husband and a sister, Mrs. Charles Hite.〔〔
