Muriel Seymour Tuttle - Muriel

I was doing some research into Muriel Tuttle Eden. I was adopted as a baby in 1959, and my adoptive parents used to visit Muriel Eden at her estate home on Horseshoe Rd, Mill Neck LI when I was a small boy, I am trying to piece together that part of my life a bit, so many questions have come up over the years. I remember the big house, a large stairway, formal library and many other things including the servants. My "grandma" worked for her, I think as her personal secretary and lived on the top floor of the house. I stayed overnight at least once around 1966.
I know Muriel died on Dec 15, 1967, just after I turned 8, so I never knew much about her, I never met her husband of course and assumed all these years that he had passed away, but I learned tonight they divorced in 1939.
I remember Muriel had a room in the house full of small bronze statues, one of which was given as a gift to my late "sister", I understood she sculpted the models for them, as a sculptor myself that aspect is interesting to me now- I was too young to appreciate statues at age 6 but I remember the room.

have a very old hand written pedigree book handed down to me tracing back the Dana family going back to around 1600s- which was my adoptive mother's maiden name, I was told she was my "cousin Muriel" but then mother had me call just about everyone "cousin" or "aunt" this or that, so I don't know if they were actual family members of hers or just a term of endearment for me to address the adult as instead of "Mrs Eden" or "Muriel"

I have fond memories of the woman being very kind, dignified, and she seemed to love children as she welcomed me to her home and had her cook treat me to cookies and things, I also remember two large antique miniature rooms in the library that were enclosed in glass show cases, and she turned the little lights on inside so I could see the furniture and things, one I remember being a living room, the other one I don't recall.

I found a couple of photos of the outside of the house but that's all, and her obituary cited that she was well known for her "war work" but no details as to what "war work" was exactly, and it mentioned her dedication to the arts and charities but no details on those either.
