Florita Eichel at the first girls tennis tournament at Sunset Park. The September 10, 1916 Evansville Courier had a long article about this tournament, with multiple photographs, one of which was this one of Florita Eichel serving, credited to Deeds. William Deeds was a photographer hired by the Evansville Courier in 1906. According to this article, Eichel was "one of the chief instigators of this first city tournament." She was eliminated from the singles tourney on September 13, but went on to play doubles, also. She was the originator of this photographic collection and a sister of the owner of the White Swan Laundry, one of Evansville's first steam laundries. In her own right she was an accomplished artist, according to her obituary after her May 14, 1983 death at the age of 90. She was employed by the Evansville Museum for over 20 years, which has some of her work in its permanent collection. "Evansville's Riverfront once was the hub of the city's commercial activity, but residents soon recognized its recreational possibilities. In 1850, a newspaper suggested that the "delightful tract" of land along the river be converted into a public park, and by the early 20th century, the vision had become a reality. Offering a magnificent view of the setting sun, the newly landscaped park was aptly named Sunset Park." (http://historicevansville.com/site.php?id=sunsetpark).
