Amelia Mary Earhart

b. 24 July 1897, d. circa 2 July 1937

     Amelia Mary Earhart was born on 24 July 1897 at Atchison, Atchison Co., KS. She was the daughter of Samuel Stanton Earhart and Amelia Otis. Amelia Mary Earhart died circa 2 July 1937 at Nikumaroro Island, Phoenix Islands, Republic of Kiribati.

Three years before she vanished over the Pacific Ocean, Amelia spent a wild weekend in Atlnata recruiting female pilots, and selling a line of designer hats. Between 2 February and 4 February 1934 she spoke at a luncheon in her honor at Davidson's department store; and that Sunday she gave a lecture at the Capitor titled "Flying for Fun". She also showcased her aircraft to members of the Georgia chapter of the Ninety-Nines, an inernational organization for women pilots of which Earhart was a charter member.

Researcher Richard Jantz wrote that what he found "strongly supports the conclusion that the Nikumaroro bones belonged to Amelia Earhart." The details were published in a research article authored by Jantz, professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Tennessee, in the journal Forensic Anthropology 7 March 2018.
