With Don Eagle

Wrestler Pon (sic) Eagle Married in Vermont

Island Pond, VT., March 23 – (AP) – Don Eagle, billed as a full blooded Caughnawauga Indian in professional wrestling bouts, was married here last night to Beth Isabel Hamilton, 19-years-old Ohio University student.

The civil ceremony was performed by Justice of the Peace C.F. Maw in the town offices.

The couple are honeymooning at his home at nearby Spectacle Pond.

The bridegroom gave his name as Carl Donald Bell. His age was not disclosed. His bride was a resident of Hamilton, Ohio.

The simple ceremony was witnessed by Don Eagle’s friends including Essex County State’s Attorney David Orgain, and former State Police officer Max Jurras of Montpelier.

The article really tells all, and now we have a signed photograph in my grandfather's basement.

Don Eagle signed Photo
by: Bill

Don Eagle is probably the most popular Native American wrestler of all time. He held a version the AWA World Heavyweight Title (for only three days), but didn't need a title to get over with wrestling fans. He was very colorful and usually worked at the top of the cards.

The last few years that he wrestled he suffered with back pain. At 38, he left wrestling completely. Three years, in 1963, he died from an apparent suicide.

A signed Don Eagle photo is worth about $50.
