Monday, Oct. 20, 1941
Married. William Davey, stepson of Cyrus McCormick (reapers), son of Painter Randall Davey; and Roberta Storms Runyon of Chicago; each for the second time; in Santa Fe.
Married. North Carolina's Senator Robert Rice Reynolds, 57; and Evalyn Washington McLean, 19, daughter of wealthy Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean; he for the fifth time, she for the first; in Washington. The bride's mother is owner of the Hope Diamond, traditional "bad luck" stone.
Married. Ruth Hill Beard Lorillard, wealthy daughter of the late Empire-Builder James J. Hill, widow of Tobacco-man Pierre Lorillard; and Emile John Heidsieck of the champagne family; in Tuxedo Park, N.Y.
Married. Britain's General Sir John Dill, 59, Chief of the Imperial General Staff; and Nancy Furlong, 35, ambulance driver in the Battle of France, widow of Brigadier General Denis Furlong, killed on duty in England last year; in London.
Died. Lorenzo Cardinal Lauri, 76, Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church; in Vatican City. He succeeded Pius XI as Papal Nuncio to Poland (1921-27), negotiated the Concordat between the Vatican and the Polish Republic.
Died. Harry Micajah Daugherty, 81, ex-U.S. Attorney General (1921-24); of heart disease; in Columbus, Ohio. In 1920 "President-maker" Daugherty maneuvered his longtime crony Warren Gamaliel Harding to the Republican nomination as a compromise candidate, got the Attorney Generalship as his reward. A year later his impeachment was sought on 14 charges of malfeasance but the move fell through in the House. A Senate committee prying into the "Teapot Dome" oil scandal suspected his involvement; it was unable to prove it. Shortly afterward he resigned under pressure. He was indicted for graft involving the Alien Property Custodian but was not convicted. For the rest of his life he labored to clear his name. He died with his work unfinished. Totally blind in one eye, half-blind in the other, he had been ill for a year before he died.
Left. By the late Louis Dembitz Brandeis, retired Supreme Court Justice: $3,178,495, most of it in bonds. His will, one of the most complicated ever filed in Washington, gave his widow a trust fund of about $400,000, each of his two daughters trusts of about $200,000. Among other bequests, gifts aggregating $1,000,000 to: University of Louisville; Survey Associates, Inc. "for the maintenance of civil liberty and . . . workers' education"; to the Palestine Endowment, and Hadassah--the last two for the development of Palestine as a national home for the Jews.
