General
These images are numbered according to their order as President, with Mrs. Putnam serving as the First present, and Mrs. Gonzalez serving as the 19th President. In the 1920's, this type of labeling begins to disappear, and these are some problems reconciling the years with the missing information on which President the women is by succession number. If may be that some served two terms.
