Hazel Marion Eaton (July 4, 1895 - Dec. 22, 1970) was one of the first "mile-a-minute girls" to ride an Indian motorcycle in a carnival motordrome known as the Wall of Death. Raised in South Portland, Maine, Eaton enjoyed a local reputation for diving and long distance swimming. After the Portland Sunday Telegram ran a story touting her swimming abilities, representatives from the Johnny Jones Exposition hired her to perform shallow diving feats from an elevated platform into a tank, hoop rolling and trained monkey acts.
