Note: Ellamae Stitcher Steenson Mundy married a New Jersey aeronautical engineer, Jimmy Steenson, and traveled extensively. A pilot himself, aquaintance of early pilot Clarence Chamberlain, Jimmy flew out of Hadley Airport, South Plainfield. Originally used for mail flights, the Hadley site has been replaced by a shopping mall. George Edward Stitcher took his first flight at Hadley, in a Piper Cub, at age 15. Plans for a folding wing biplane and his drawing board were handed down to GES, upon the death of Jimmy, in the 1930's. His car struck a milk truck on route 130, in New Jersey, in the early morning hours and he was killed. His widow married Edmund Mundy, Executive Secretary of the Creole Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Childless, Ellamae did volunteer work for the Plainfield chapter of the American Red Cross.
