Martha Lucy Rawlings Tootell (November 27, 1911 – January 5, 2010) was an American schoolteacher and politician who served in the Rhode Island House of Representatives.
Martha Lucy Rawlings was born in Jacksonville, Illinois and moved with her family to Rhode Island in 1913.
[3][4] Rawlings graduated from Rhode Island College in 1933 and pursued further study at the Boston University School of Law.
[8] Although Frank Heppner writes that Tootell was affiliated with the Democratic Party,[9] records kept by the government of Rhode Island state that Tootell was nominated by the Republican Party without opposition in 1972 and 1974, and faced opposition candidate Robert M. Smith in the 1972 general election, while winning reelection unopposed in 1974.
[12][13] Their home in Kingston is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Tootell House.
