Helena as a young mother. (de Kay Gilder) I've been looking for this for a few years now. I knew it existed, but didn't know where. Eaton was one of the founding members of the Society of American Artists that she and some others organized when they got fed up with the Academy in NYC. Recently, I've been trading emails with a guy that's digging up graves back there. (Not literally.) He's found her father's and her brother's. And knows about the Oyster Bay house where she and her mother and siblings lived with Helena's uncle before they went off to Dresden. Another guy found my Helena site and said he grew up near Great Barrington (where one of the bears is hanging out these days) and thought her descendants were fascinating people.
Helena's mother from about the same time. Neither picture is up on the Helena site, maybe its time for an update.
