Elma Napier was born in Scotland, the daughter of Sir Wiliam Gordon Cumming, who, famously, was accused of cheating while playing cards with the Prince of Wales. She settled in Dominica in 1932 with her husband and two young children and built a home, known as Pointe Baptiste, on the then remote north coast of the island.
She later became the first woman to sit in a Caribbean parliament and first served in Dominica’s Legislative Assembly in 1947. She died in Dominica in 1973.
