Reverend Margaret Towner was the 1st female ordained in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America! She never planned to become ordained. When she graduated from Union Seminary in New York, she became an educator because women could not be ordained in the early 1950's. Members of her home church persuaded her to seek ordination and history was made.
