Mrs. L. Phipps (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    That would be Mrs. Lawrence Cowle Phipps, wife of a US Senator from Colorado, and a steel company executive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_C._Phipps bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=p000317 I'm guessing it's the third Mrs. Lawrence Phipps--the former Miss Margaret Rogers, daughter of former Denver Mayor Platt Rogers. They wed in January 1911. If that's Margaret Rogers Phipps (1888-1968), there's a later photo of her here: www.du.edu/phipps/history.html She was inducted into the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame in 2000; she won the Colorado State Open women's doubles championship three times. It might also be the second Mrs. Phipps, the former Genevieve Chandler (b 1879), whose name also appeared frequently in the society pages; but that marriage was annulled in 1904.
  • Pete (LOC P&P) said:
    pennylrichardsca: thanks for providing us additional information about Mrs. Phipps. I think it might be Margaret Rogers after looking at her earlier and later pictures. We will probably investigate further before making any changes to the record.

MEGANTIC (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Art Siegel said:
    "SS Megantic was an ocean liner built by Harland and Wolff, Belfast, and operated by the White Star Line. The liner was launched in 1908 and was 14,878 gross register tons (GRT). The ship was attacked by a German U-boat during World War I, but survived. Megantic was taken out of service in 1931 and scrapped in 1933." It became a troopship in 1915. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Megantic_
  • Jim Rees said:
    This photo is probably from late March 1915, after Megantic rescued survivors from Denver, which itself had rescued survivors of Carib and Evelyn. I'm basing that on the adjacent negative numbers 3426-5 and 3426-7. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/7267740838/in/p... news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2249&dat=19150401&...

    Hi Pixel Wrangler and dave halliday, Oops! We need some more time to add our descriptive data to this set. We have changed the permissions from public to private for now, but we hope you come back and see the set when the descriptions have been added. Thanks! Mary U.S. National Archives
