Her neighbor was the inventor of the AutoGyro. Of course she had one and flew it. She climbed the Matterhorn at 18 years of age. She used these adventures as the subjects of her books. She never married but enjoyed her sisters children holding a coming out party for Mary's daughters, Priscilla Sparks Sailer and Elizabeth Twells Sailer, at the family's opulent mansion at Grame park.
