Portrait Photograph of Wisconsin Aviators Ruth Harman and Herb Walraven [Aviation, Portrait Photography, Gustav A. Malme]

Mather, shown on the right in the photograph, was a self-made millionaire from the borax industry who, in 1915, became special assistant to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
