Mrs. Moreton, aNorth Car
olina native who now lives in
Ocean Springs, Miss,, has had
three separate lives. She was
one of the first airline host
esses for Eastern Airlines,
then a wife and mother, and
now is an expert on spiders.
She photographs them, lec
tures about them, and writes
about them.
Almost 10 years ago after
her children were grown and
her husband died, Mrs. More-
ton began a new avocation,
photographing spiders, and it
became her vocation. She has
traveled in all 50 states pho

natural habitat and has a col

of more than 800 species.
Mrs. Moreton has lectur
ed in school assemblies to
more than 100,000 students.
It was these students who
nicknamed her the “Spider
Lady.’’
Her articles and photo

published in National Wildlife,
Boys Life, Smithsonian Mag

Science for Children. “Spi
ders in Her Parlor,’’ an arti
cle she wrote, appeared all
over the United States in the
Sunday newspaper supplement
in June, 1970.
Mrs. Moreton’s exhibits
have been at the Smithsonian
Institute in Washington, D.C,
and at the American Museum
of Natural History in New
York. She is the founder of
