FIRST WOMAN MAYOR IN WYOMING [etching of a bust of lady mayor] "Mrs. Susan Wissler, on May 9, 1911, was elected mayor of Dayton, Wyoming, then a community of about 175 people.

Her administration was marked by civic improvement and community betterment as her campaign promise to curb gambling and regulate the operation of saloons was, in a measure, fulfilled. Mrs. Wissler was truly a pioneer. She taught in the public schools of this area for several years and actively encouraged her students to go on for further study. As a practical nurse she is remembered for her ministrations in time of trouble. She also owned and operated a millinery and dry goods store for a number of years. Dayton became her home in 1890. She died in 1938. Erected 1965 by the Wyoming State Archives and Historical Department and the Wyoming State Historical Society.
