Arrangement note
The Maie Casey Papers were arranged by Connie Hauser, Lord Casey's
secretary, after Lady Casey's death. Much of this arrangement has been
preserved, particularly in series 4 (art papers), 6 (Ellis Rowan) and 8
(photographs). The alphabetical sequence in series one is an amalgamation of
two alphabetical sequences constructed by Connie Hauser, together with loose
correspondence from the collection. Authors of many of the letters have been
identified, presumably by Ms Hauser.

Ethel Marian Sumner (Maie) Ryan was born on 13 March 1892 in Melbourne
and died on 20 January 1983. She was the daughter of Alice Elfrida Sumner and
Surgeon-General Sir Charles Snodgrass Ryan (1853-1926) (brother of Cecil
Godfrey Ryan and Ellis Rowan) and the sister of Rupert Ryan. Her paternal
grandparents were Charles Ryan and Marian Cotton (daughter of John Cotton).
Maie Ryan spent her early life in Collins Street, Melbourne, where her
father had his residence and surgery. She was educated privately. When she was
14 she left Australia to attend St George's boarding school, Ascot, England.
During World War I she worked in London before accompanying her brother to
Cologne. She returned to London in the 1920s and in 1926 she married Richard
Gardiner Casey, who at that time was Australian political liaison officer in
London.
The Caseys returned to Australia in 1931 and after Casey's election to
the House of Representatives, settled in Canberra. Lady Casey accompanied her
husband on his postings to Washington as first Australian diplomatic
representative to the United States, 1940-42; to Cairo as Minister of State in
the Middle East, 1942-44 and to Calcutta as Governor of Bengal, 1944-46. The
Caseys had two children, Donn and Jane.
Lady Casey was a painter, illustrator and patron of the arts. She
attended the Westminster School of Art in London and in Australia was
associated with the George Bell School in Melbourne, and Joan Lindsay. She
illustrated Helen Jo Samuel's biography of Ellis Rowan Wild flower
hunter (1961) as well as her own book, An Australian story.
She took up flying while living in Canberra in 1938 and flew in
Australia and the United States. She was associated with the Royal Victorian
Aero Club and a founder of the Australian Women Pilots' Association. She was
also a member of the American women pilots' club, the Ninety Nines.
She was also first President of the Indian Institute of Art in Industry,
1945-46 and a member of the jury, International Sculpture Competition, London,
in 1953.
Lady Casey published three autobiographical accounts: An Australian
story, 1837-1907 (1962), a history of four generations of her family in
Australia; Tides and eddies (1966), an account of her early married
life; and Rare encounters (1980), reminiscences of Lady Edwina
Mountbatten, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, Dame Nellie Melba and her
mother-in-law, Mrs R.G. Casey. She also published a biography Melba
re-visited (1975); two volumes of verse, Verses (1963) and From
the night (1976); co-edited Early Melbourne architecture 1840-1888
(1953) and wrote the libretto for a musical based on an episode in the life of
Daisy Bates, The young Kabbarli (1972).
Articles written by Lady Casey include 'Charles Snodgrass Ryan'
(Medical Journal of Australia, 19 Sept. 1959: 390-393), 'An introduction
to the Nan Kivell Collection' (Art in Australia, v.5, no. 4, Mar. 1968):
586-595), 'A tribute to Sidney Nolan' (Art in Australia, v.5, Sept.
1967: 434), 'George Bell in Bourke Street', (Art in Australia, v.4,

the Bibliography of Natural History, v. 4, part 2, Jan. 1963: 85-91).
She was awarded the Kaiser-I-Hind Medal, the Africa Star, and the Amelia
Earhart Medal and was made a Commander of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Companion of the Order of Australia
(AC) in 1982.
