I think the article is probably long enough that it would be worth splitting it into 'Early life', 'Career' and 'Later life' but I'll leave it up to you
Done; I'm generally not the biggest fan of sectioning in short articles, as I think it disrupts the flow, but I actually think using level 3 headings works pretty good here. Curbon7 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would specifying Fallon, Nevada, U.S. for the resting place in the infobox
It could be worth adding the note 2 to the infobox for the comment about a previous husband for readers who only look at the infobox, although then you might need to slightly reword the note to work for both
I assume O'Connor was her maiden name but do we have any information on that?
Maybe, but it is unclear due to her also having used the name Sullivan prior to her marriage to Schweble. None of the sources that exist provide further information in this regard. Curbon7 (talk) 04:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where Bennett 2010 says she moved in 1908 (seems to just be "before 1910")
"That year, she married for a second time, to gold miner John Henry Schweble." I would specify he was her second husband in the text.
I think the note does a better job of succinctly covering this without repeating ourselves, due to the lack of clarity around the whole situation of her first marriage; with the change of including the date of the marriage per below, I think this makes more sense now than it did originally, in my opinion. Curbon7 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would be inclined to give the date of their marriage, since we know it
Done, thanks to the change two points above, this was able to be included. Moved the "Rawhide" source up, so that sentence is now directly referenced. Curbon7 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit confused as to whether her husband was superintendent at the Austin Dakota Mining Company at the time of their marriage; the source says he was "before the war" but also that he had moved back to Tonopah in 1908 and was foreman of the Tonopah Extension for 7 years, while the other source says he was superintendent of the Rawhide Daisy mine.
Fixed; that was a mistake on my end. At the time of the marriage he was superintendent of the Rawhide Daisy mine; I think I got a bit mixed up there. Curbon7 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Where does it say that she was president of the Tonopah Republican Women's Club?
I would be inclined to say that Schweble and a fellow female legislator Florence B. Swasey made up half of Nye County's delegation (per the source), to provide some context of how many legislators there were at the time
Done, I think the wording is a bit better this way, and it gives me an excuse to include a link for another notable woman! Curbon7 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where all of Among her most notable acts in the legislature was her opposition to a bill which would have legalized all gambling in Nevada; her opposition effectively defeated the legislation is backed up in the sources
Fixed; seems I mis-read Bennett 2010, which states the legalized gambling bill died with... Schweble voting against it, making it seem like it was her vote that dug the grave, when in reality the Bennett 2009 source shows it was actually the House Speaker's opposition that doomed the bill.

The prose looks good and I couldn't find any close paraphrasing
I've done a quick look and I wasn't able to find any photos that could be used, so no worries there
In Bennett 2009 on page 190, there is an image of the 1925 legislature with several women in the back, but it is impossible to tell which of these (if any) could be Schweble. On the following page is a list of signatures, but I was unable to identify Schweble's. I searched the digital archives of both the University of Nevada, Reno and the Nevada State Library Archives, but there was no image of Schweble (which is weird as the other female legislators of the era have photos in the arhcive). There may be an image of her in an offline archive collection, but I have no access to that. This obituary is in the public domain, as the copyright was never registered (see [1]), but I'm not a big fan of using clippings in the infobox in lieu of images.
