On June 18, 1986, the United States Postal Service officially released the Belva Ann Lockwood stamp as part of their Great American Series. Born on October 24, 1830, this Royalton resident went on to become an admired public figure and a very influential woman of the century. The Lockwood Bill gave female attorneys the right to pursue their cases in courts. She also became the first female nominated by a political party to the office of President of the United States, first in 1884 and again in 1888.
