swanq: We really appreciate your research in tracking down the married names and birth and death dates of Fanny and Marion Wickes. We will add more information to the descriptions which will help other researchers.

Presumably en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleonora_Sears, a well known tennis player and horsewoman. "Eleonora Sears rode horses competitively and was elected to the US Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1992. She also owned and raced Thoroughbred horses. She was the first woman to play polo on a men’s team."

swanq: Thanks for the additional information on Sears. We will include some of it next time we update.

Spectacular!
