pinchot

Mrs Alan Johnstone was a Pinchot, sister to Amos and Gifford. See NYT article from 1892 at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D00E6DA1F31E033A... "Miss Antoinette E. Pinchot was married yesterday to the Hon. Alan Johnstone of England Instead of taking place in St. George's Church as originally intended, the ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot of Gramercy Park."

Pinchot, a founder of the Conservation Movement - Amos, part of the "Bull Moose" in 1912, and aquaintance of President Theodore TEDDY Roosevelt - later labeled as a pacifist, frequent speaker, writer, and author - spoke against large military buildup, founded isolationist group that dissolved after US entered WWII - was also against the growing role of big business in national politcs - moralist - rumored to have unsuccessfully attempted suicide out of depression over WWII Lady Alan - AKA Antoinette Pinchot - society leader, reputedly entertained in London at the Ritz, Edwardian fashionable - see also: www.yourbrotherkings.com/?p=100

Slight correction. James W. was not a founder of the conservation movement, except indirectly. He was the father of Amos, Antoinette, and Amos Pinchot. Gifford was encouraged by his father to study forestry, so Gifford, who went on to found the Forest Service in 1905, credited his father with being the "Father of Forestry." But James was a wealthy New York businessman, not a lumber baron. The Pinchot family funded the establishment of the Yale School of Forestry in 1900, and James probably contributed the bulk of the initial $150,000 and possibly the eventual $300,000. Gifford and others were the founders of the Conservation Movement during TR's presidency. In 1912, Amos and Gifford were major supporters of TR's third-party run for the presidency.

Thanks for the clarification - always appreciated - any web site links to your info?

The entire series:

That's probably meant to be Mrs. Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs, a prominent member of Newport society and a member of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage too. She married Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs (1882-1973), a stockbroker, in 1907, and they were divorced in 1921.

They had one child, daughter Margery (aka Marjorie, aka "Bubbles"); maybe that's her in the photo. If it is, she eventually married Eddy Duchin, the bandleader, in 1935, and became mother to Peter Duchin (b. 1937). Marjorie Oelrichs Duchin died two days after the birth of Peter.

The Mrs. Oelrichs in the photo above does not appear to be the same woman who, in another Bain/LOC photo, also is identified as Mrs. Oelrichs. Perhaps Bain made an error in one of the identifications. Moreover, the daughter in the other photo (who does not resemble the girl in this one) is identified as "Margaret," not "Marjorie." Here is the other photo:

Indeed, Wystan, this woman and daughter look more like the mother and daughter in the pictured labeled as Mrs. Amos Pinchot.

The daughter, in particular looks to be wearing the same hat.

www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/136306
has pictures of Gertrude Minturn Pinchot that look like this woman, but is mainly about her daughter, who was the actress Rosamond Pinchot. Pictures of Rosamond as a girl on the web page could certainly be this girl.

The Oelrichs seem like a complicated family with a lot of same-named people; Margery/Marjorie Oelrichs, daughter of the Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs, was born after 1907, which would seem to make her a little younger than this child.

I like the alternate identification--they do look much more like the Gertrude and Rosamond Pinchot in the photo swanq links to. Not only the same hat on the girl--looks like it could be the same dress, socks, and shoes too!
