- catalog description "Mary Endicott Tree, known as Marietta, was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on April 12, 1917, the daughter of Malcolm and Mary (Parkman) Peabody. She attended the University of Pennsylvania before marrying Desmond FitzGerald, a lawyer; a daughter, Frances, was born in 1940. Deeply interested in politics and social issues, Tree worked with Dorothy Paley, William Paley's first wife, to establish a nursery school in Harlem and to found Sydenham Hospital, the first multi-racial hospital in the United States. In 1947 she and FitzGerald divorced and she married Ronald Tree, a former Conservative member of the British Parliament. They had a daughter, Penelope, in 1949. Tree was active in Adlai E. Stevenson's presidential campaigns and in 1961, President Kennedy, on Stevenson's recommendation, named Tree U.S. Representative to the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations. In 1966 Tree embarked on a State Department-sponsored fact-finding tour of Asia, with particular emphasis on human rights and the status of women; the following year she served as a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention. In 1968 she became a partner in the urban planning company, Llewelyn-Davies Associates, and she was an active (and sometimes the only female) member of many committees and boards, including the Citizens Committee for New York City, and Central Broadcasting Station (CBS). She also worked as a consulting editor and scout for Architectural Digest. She died of cancer in 1991.".
