For Women’s History Month in March, Mathews Memorial Library is focusing is on two women of Mathews who made a name for themselves beyond the boundaries of Mathews. The stories and accomplishments of Captain Sally Tompkins, above left, and Emma Lee Smith White, two of the county’s most notable women, are presented, and these large portraits of them are displayed overlooking the main floor. In addition, the public is invited to add the names of women of Mathews who have made significant contributions to their community or elsewhere and who are deserving of recognition. Below, library director Bette Dillehay points out Tompkins’s signature on a letter the Civil War captain wrote. The exhibit will remain on display throughout March.
