Mary Petty

(1899 - 1976)

Married to fellow The New Yorker cartoonist Alan Dunn.

On December 3, 1971, after having been missing for two days, Petty was found on Wards Island, New York, badly beaten and incoherent. She was left with the "mental capacity of a three year old" and lived the remainder of her life in a nursing home.
