Carl Edgar Myers
Carl Edgar Myers was a balloonist and inventor from Mohawk, Herkimer county, New York, who collaborated with his wife, Mary "Carlotta" Myers.[1]
On a slightly later patent, we have Carl filing solely with "Carlotta" Myers serving among witnesses.[2]
Later still, we have Carl as being located in Frankfort, Herkimer county, NY, and with Mary H. Myers acting among witnesses.[3] Given the overall context this is fairly definitely the name of Carl's wife, inclusive of the middle initial, without the pseudonym.
Myers was chosen to be director of aeronautics at the St. Louis World's Fair but was soon replaced due to accusations of obnoxious behavior. Nevertheless the Myerses continued to participate in the exhibitions, with occasional drama arising from friction with the organizers.[4]
