The unexpected death of Senator Thaddeus Caraway (right) in 1931 set in motion a series of events that would make national history. Just a week after Caraway’s death, Governor Harvey Parnell appointed Caraway’s wife, Hattie Caraway (left), to fill the vacant seat. Approximately one month later, she was elected in a special election, becoming the first woman to be elected to the United States Senate.
