Isabella Greenway poses in front a Charles Lindbergh's plane in Williams. The plane is different than the one that appears on the front page of the April 27, 1928 Williams News, and some locals report that Lindbergh came to Williams more than once over the years. Greenway is best known as the first U.S. congresswoman in Arizona history, and who also had a vacation home at Hat Ranch west of Williams. (Williams Library Historical Photo Archive)
