Click to enlarge
Margaret House Eaton was the first family member to fly in the 1920s. Cy's mother is a story unto herself. Her father was a doctor in Cleveland Ohio who rode with Sherman in the Civil War. She was an adventuress, flier, world traveler, butterfly collector, painter, early adherent of the emerging and controversial science of psychiatry and, not incidently, mother of seven.

The side of the biplane reads: Morrow Aircraft Charlotte
