Biographical/Historical Note
Ivonette Wright Miller was born on April 8, 1896 to Lorin and Ivonette Stokes Wright.
Ivonette’s father, Lorin, was an older brother of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Ivonette attended
Edison Elementary School and graduated from Steele High School in 1914. After graduating
2
from high school she attended Oxford College where she earned a Bachelor of Music degree in
1918. She married Harold Miller, a 1914 graduate of Steele High School and World War I pilot,
on June 25, 1919 at Hawthorn Hill, the home of Orville Wright. The couple had three children.
Their son Jack was born in 1920, but later died in 1933 after a long illness. A daughter, Ivonette,
was born in 1921 and died in 1923. Finally, a daughter, Marianne, was born in 1935.
Miller was a soprano soloist in the choirs of Grace United Methodist and First Baptist churches
in Dayton. She was a board member of the YWCA, the Dayton Women’s Club, and the Dayton
Music Club. She was a member of the Montgomery County and Kettering-Moraine historical
societies, the National Women’s Air and Space Museum, Aviation Trail, the President’s Club at
Wright State University, and the Dayton First Baptist Church. In 1981 she received an honorary
doctor of laws degree from Wright State. In 1988 she received a “Trailblazer” award from the
Aviation Trail Association.
For many years Ivonette was best known as the Wright family representative—particularly after
the 1948 death of her uncle, Orville Wright. Whether christening a navy aircraft carrier or
talking to a small local group, Ivonette was the person – until she was past 90 – who made
Dayton’s world-famous family real people with her intimate recollections of her bachelor uncles
“Wil” and “Orv.” She attended many ceremonies and dedications in honor of her uncles,
appeared on network television shows, and gave more than 100 lectures on the Wright family. In
1978 Ivonette wrote about her experiences with her famous uncles in a book titled Wright
Reminiscences. Her favorite story was when, at the age of 15, she flew in a Wright “B” Flyer
with her “Uncle Orv” at Huffman Prairie in 1911. Afterwards, she reported that “The flight was
very smooth, but windy. I felt very secure. I haven’t been the same since.” More importantly,
she, and her husband Harold, an executor of Orville Wright’s estate, preserved an archive of
more than 6,000 priceless Wright photographs, papers, and memorabilia, most of which were
donated to Wright State University.
Harold Miller died July 21, 1991, at the age of 95. Ivonette Wright Miller passed away on
October 5, 1995 at the age of 99.
Scope and Content
The Ivonette Wright Miller Papers is a diverse collection of Wright Brothers material. The
papers include family papers, photographs, and memorabilia originally owned by Orville and
Wilbur Wright, Katharine Wright, and their father, Bishop Milton Wright. The papers also
include hundreds of items collected by Harold and Ivonette Wright Miller in conjunction with
dedications or anniversary celebrations commemorating events associated with the Wright
Brothers. The papers are divided into eight series.
Series I, Family Papers, contains an interesting cross-section of material. Subseries IA, General
Family Information, contain items dating from the early 1800s, including Samuel S. Wright’s
book manuscript entitled “Political Economy.” Perhaps most historically significant in this
subseries are telegrams sent to and from Orville’s brother Lorin Wright in 1915 concerning
discussions with Pliny Williamson in New York. Also significant is Ivonette’s handwritten draft
of her book “Wright Reminiscences” and her memories of her uncles in “Uncle Will and Uncle
Orv” that includes nine cassette tapes of interviews with Ivonette. Other significant items in this
3
subseries include a copies of Wilbur’s and Orville’s “Last Will and Testament,” condolence
letters and cards attached to flower baskets sent to the family on the death Orville, the City of
Dayton “Resolution in the Death of Orville Wright,” the agreement to sell the Wright 1903 Flyer
to the Smithsonian Institution, and the Smithsonian’s dedication ceremony for the Wright 1903
Flyer on December 17, 1948. Also included in this subseries is a section on Katharine Wright
and Henry Haskell. Of particular interest in this section is Orville’s explanation of why he cut
off contact with Katharine after she married Henry. Subseries IB, Correspondence, is divided
into three major sections. The first contains the correspondence of Wright family members and
close friends. A major portion of this correspondence concerns Orville Wright’s estate, as
administered by Harold Miller and John Jameson. The second major section is correspondence
concerning the appraisal of various Wright Brothers artifacts. The last section contains mostly
correspondence between Ivonette and Charles H. Gibbs-Smith and Marvin W. McFarland
concerning articles and books being written about the Wright Brothers.
Series II, Lester D. Gardner Correspondence, contains information about Lester D. Gardner and
his correspondence with Harold S. Miller pertaining to his Wright Replica idea. The bulk of the
files contain correspondence pertaining to his program of giving a piece of the fabric from the
Kitty Hawk “Wright Flyer” to prominent people in aeronautics throughout the world. Most of
the correspondence is from recipients of the fabric. The correspondence is grouped
alphabetically according to correspondent.
Series III, Photographs, contains a wide range of significant photographs concerning the Wright
Brothers. Many of these photographs are the personal photographs of Orville Wright and
document the Wright family. The span of the photographs ranges from as early as 1900 to as
late as 1993. Of particular interest to Wright Brothers scholars are:
a. A Hawthorn Hill collection of 43 photographs (Box 7, File 11). Included in the album are
photographs, both interior and exterior shots, documenting construction of the Wright family
home in 1913 through 1941. Interior photographs show original decoration and furnishings of
the home.
b. A collection of 126 photographs (Box 7, File 12) featuring Orville’s dog “Scipio.”
Photographs include those taken at Hawthorn Hill, Lambert Island, and with family and friends.
c. A collection of 41 photographs (Box 7, File 14) documenting the Wright Brothers
Aeronautical Engineering Collection at the Franklin Institute. Included with the photographs is a
draft of an article describing the photographs written by Ralph H. McClarren.
d. The most significant collection of photographs is contained in Box 8. This box contains an
early photograph album of Orville Wright containing 276 photographs. Included are
photographs of the Wright School of Aviation at Huffman Prairie, Moraine Farm, McCook and
Wright Fields in Dayton, Europe, photographs of Wright friends and acquaintances, many family
photographs of the extended Wright family, and family photographs from Wright friends such as
the Griffith Brewers and the Alex Ogilvies. The photographs span a period of 1900 to 1926.
4
e. In Box 9 is a modern photograph album containing a set of photographs taken by photographer
Andrew S. Iddings in May and June 1909. The photographs record the parades and speeches
during the Wright Brothers Homecoming Celebrations. The album was presented to Ivonette
Wright Miller.
f. In Box 10 is a photograph album put together by Ivonette about the 1908 and 1909 activities of
the Wright Brothers. Included in the album are: photographs of the Wright Brothers
Homecoming; the May 1908 flights at Kitty Hawk as the Wrights tested the plane they would fly
in Europe and at Ft. Myer; Orville’s flights at Ft. Myer in 1908, including a number of
photographs of Orville’s crash on September 17, 1908; and Wilbur’s flights at both LeMans in
1908 and Pau, France in 1909. Many of the photographs in the album do not appear in the
Wright Brothers Collection and would be of interest to Wright Brothers scholars.
g. Boxes 11, 12, and 13 primarily document Ivonette and Harold Miller’s life as representatives
of the Wright Family. These albums contain photographs of various events, such as the
ceremonies at the Wright Brothers Memorial in Dayton, Ohio on December 17 each year, the
Miller’s 70th wedding anniversary, and similar events.
h. Box 14 contains photographs of the interior of Orville Wright’s Hawthorn Hill mansion just
shortly after his death in 1948 and later in 1949 after NCR remodeled the mansion.
h. Box 15 contains a variety of photographic postcards from the United States, France, the
United Kingdom and Italy. Several of the cards are signed by Wilbur Wright and sent to
Ivonette Wright in 1908 and 1909 – some with notes.
i. Boxes 16 and 17 contains three photograph albums compiled by Harold Miller when he was
assigned to France during World War I.
j. Among the oversized photographs in Box 18 and in map cases, there are photographs of the
Wright 1903 Flyer during its fourth flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903, attendees at the 25th
anniversary of powered flight celebration held at the NCR Auditorium in 1928, a photograph of
the Wilbur Wright Memorial at LeMans, France, and a photograph of the Katharine Wright
Memorial Fountain at Oberlin College.
Series IV, Special Events, contains information concerning the many dedications, anniversaries,
and other events related to the Wright Brothers. For each event, Ivonette retained such items as
programs and photographs associated with the event, plus associated correspondence. In some
cases, significant mementos were manufactured in honor of the occasion, such as the brass
commemorative medals struck for the 50th anniversary of powered flight. Examples of events
documented in this series include: the dedication of the Wright home and Cycle shop at
Greenfield Village in 1938; dedication of the Wright Memorial in Dayton, Ohio in 1940; the 25th
anniversary of powered flight sponsored by the NCR company in 1928; the return of the Wright
1903 Flyer to the Smithsonian Institution in 1948; and the many annual celebrations held at the
Wright Memorial in Dayton. Almost all files contain numerous photographs of the event. In the
case of the Greenfield Village and Wright Memorial dedications, many of the photographs have
the names of attendees inscribed on the photograph. Also included in this series is an extensive
5
file of programs from the National Aviation Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremonies from 1963 to
1985.
Series V, Memorabilia, contains 13 issues of the Wright Brothers newspaper The Evening Item,
beginning in June 14, 1890 and ending July 26, 1890. Also included is a 1948 commemorative
issue of Collier’s Magazine marking the 45th anniversary of powered flight, newspaper clippings
of the 45th anniversary of powered flight and dedication of the Wright 1903 Flyer at the
Smithsonian Institution, the Steele High School diplomas of Ivonette Wright and Harold Miller,
a commemorative program from Charles F. Kettering’s 75th birthday celebration in 1951, and the
musical score for “Song of the Wright Boys” composed by Mrs. Mary E. Knostman. Finally,
there is a newspaper clipping scrapbook put together by Ivonette that includes clippings about
Katharine Wright’s marriage to Henry J. Haskell and her death in 1929, letters and essays by her
son, Jack Miller, and clippings on the 25th Anniversary of the Birth of Aviation in December
1928.
Series VI, Publications, includes a number of publications containing articles about the Wright
Brothers. The publications range in date from 1948 to 2007. Many are commemorative issues
on the anniversary of powered flight.
Series VII, Audio/Visual Material, contains a VHS tape, cassette tapes, and 16mm film.
Included is VHS tape about the Wright Brothers Archives Dedication at Wright State University
on December 17, 1978. The cassette tapes are interviews with Ivonette and Harold Miller, and
other people who knew the Wright Brothers. The 16mm film is primarily film of Marianne
Miller growing up and film of family vacations – primarily in the Western United States.
Series VIII, Subject Files, is a large 2013 addition to the collection spanning a period from 19022003. It is divided into two sections. The first section is organized by name, primarily the
author of an article about the Wright family. The second section contains a variety of subject
areas collected by the Wright Family including information about aviation museums and other
subjects, much of it related to the Wright Brothers.
