Bi pine BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNY ‘A WIDOW AND HER WEALTH The Odd Fate of Fortunes When Their Builders; Die Illustrated by Two Carolina Mysteries Permit to Exhume Body of Flag- ler’s Widow Closely Follows King Mystery in Same State. ‘Wilmington, N. C., Sept. widows, beware of North Carolina! a warning to relicts of mill- ionaires may follow if the state adds to its collection of death mysteries. The secrecy shrouding the issuing ofa permit to exhume the bod ot Mrs. Lila Flagler Bingham, whose husband, H. M. Flagler, Standard oil magnate, left her millions, follow closely the mysterious death of Mrs. Maude A. King, wealthy Chicago widow. Both women had originally married millionaires well along in years. Mrs. Flagler Bingham by a second marriage was the wife of an old girlhood sweet- heart, Judge Robert W. Bingham, when she died. Mrs. King had not remarried, but there was a man in the case just the same—Gaston Means, who had been her secretary, and who was a member 5—Wealthy of the auto party which Mrs. King is; said to have left just before her body; was found in a lonesome spot near Blackwelder Spring. Both women, while widows spent much time traveling and enjoying life. That, it seems, is what most wealthy widows do. And in many instances the widow and her wealth are rapidly parted. ‘This, however, does not hold good in the case of the wealthiest, as wit- ness Mrs. J. P. ‘Morgan, Sr., Mrs. Mary Herriman, Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. J. J. Hill. They, of course, were past middle age when they acquired wealth and lost their husbands. The younger ones marry. It seems that Nan Cupid hasn't much else to do but sit around and shoot arrows at lowed hearts. just the other day news floated across the Atlantic that Mrs. W. B. widow of America’s “tinplate was engaged to a Greek prince. She has been wooed by half the warld’s bachelor noblemen. J. J. As- tor’s Titanic widow, Madelaine Force Astor, is now Mrs. William K. Dick, and living happily. Mrs. Leila Post, widow of the Battle Creek cereal food millionaire, married the manager of the hotel she inherited from her hus- band. _ Years ago Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., married Baldwin Drummond, a Bri- tisher, and carried $50,000,000 Ameri- can money across with her. Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburgh left immense fomenes by her first two husbands, announces her engagement to the duke of Oporto. The widow of Tom Shevlin, million- aire football player, gave her husband ; and the care of the Shevlin millions to Marshall H. Russell, a year or so after her husband died. ‘Then there was the widow of James “Silent” Smith, who gave her some- into the keeping of youthful Jean H. B. St. Cyr, who’ posed as a scion of} an old family, but who really had bor- rowed that claim as well as the name he wore. When Charles T. Yerkes, Chicago traction king, died he left art galler- fea, palaces and much gold for his widow, who, after a brief matrimonial venture with Wilson Mizner, had little left. With few exceptions millionaire wid- ows “lived happily ever after” their second marriages. Those who seemed to have made the failures were the ones who picked husbands much younger than they. Seldom does a death mystery follow a wealthy widow's second venture in the sea of matrimony. And more rare is it for a death mys- tery to follow a wealthy widow who does not remarry. In North Carolina both have hap- pened—and in a month! ’Ware of North Carolina, ye widows of wealth! MOURNING PIONEER Pembina County “Notes Passing of One of Early Citizens Walhalla, N.
