State Representatives in 1894. They were Clara Cressingham and Frances
Flock of Arapahoe County, and Carrie Clyde Holly of Pueblo County.
Caroline Clyde Holt Holly was born in New York City in July 1856. She came to Colorado in 1889. She was married to Colorado Territorial Supreme Court Justice Charles F. Holly (1819-1901) in 1881. Carrie Holly supported wom-en’s suffrage, and often sent letters addressing Women’s Suffrage meetings throughout the United States. She studied law under her husband and be-came an attorney. Carrie and Charles lived on their ranch at Vineland, Pueblo County with their two daughters at the time of her election. She served a two-year term in the legislature. She served on the Vineland School Board prior to her election to the legislature.
Carrie introduced the first bill by a woman to the Colorado legislature. The bill increased a girls age of con-sent from 16 to 18. The bill passed and was signed by the governor after contentious debate. Carrie supported bills for “local options” to regulate the sale of liquor, and giving mothers the same rights to their children as fa-thers.
Charles Holly passed away in 1901 in Beulah, Colorado. Carrie remarried in 1902 to Richard Dotson of Pueblo. They were divorced in 1909. Carrie contin-ued to live in Pueblo until around 1920, before moving to Colorado Springs for less than two years. By the 1930’s Carrie had moved to Oregon and Washington state with her daughter, Emily. Carrie and Charles’ youngest daughter, Helen, was a teacher at the Helen Hunt School in Colorado Springs. Helen married Arthur Allen Douglas in 1920. Carrie passed away in Castle Rock, Cowlitz County, Washington in July 1943.
