Harriet Lane Huntress

She served as the Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction in New Hampshire, being the first woman in New England appointed to such a position.

She showed great enthusiasm in helping put it into effect; and with initiative, resourcefulness and admirable workmanship, developed her department in the new system.

[5] In 1920, in recognition of her services to the cause of education, New Hampshire College conferred upon her the honorary degree of Master of Arts.

[3][4] Huntress was an active worker in the New Hampshire Equal Suffrage Association (member, advisory board), and a faithful supporter of the Unitarian church.

[2][3] Absent from her job since February 1922 on account of illness,[6] Huntress died at her home in Concord, July 31, 1922.
