Mrs Kaye is a native of Ulster, and came to Denaby from Liverpool in 1882.

She was elected to the Conisborough Council five years ago for the West Ward.

For the last three years she has been president of the women’s section of the Denaby Labour partya Governor of the Mexborough Secondary School, and a member of the Conisborough Education Sub-Committee. She is a competent trained nurse, a member of the ambulance movement, and a medallist for services rendered during the Cadeby explosion.

During the war she was a welfare officer at the Kilnhurst Steel Works

She is deservedly popular in the Conisborough and Denabv district, and since election to the council has made many sound and sensible contributions to its debates.
