Marie Gaston (1845-1902) was born in England and died in Deadwood, South Dakota. She served as the first president of the Round Table Club (RTC), a women's club established in Deadwood to promote the study of literature and history. The RTC spearheaded the movement to establish Deadwood's first public library, and Gaston served as Deadwood's first librarian from 1895 until her passing. She became interested in Christian Science in 1884 after visiting a friend in Chicago.
