socialite

The New York Times has several references to a "Jeanette McAlpin" in its social pages from around 1914. She is the granddaughter of David Hunter McAlpin, a 19th century industrialist from New York. Her father, George L McAlpin, was a prominent hotel owner in New York City.

She married in 1914, see New-York tribune., April 23, 1914, Page 9, column 1

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.

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!

Adolf Lewisohn was a New York investment broker and philanthropist who died in 1938. He was a large contributor to Columbia University among many other New York City beneficiaries.

We have to be careful there are two brothers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Lewisohn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Lewisohn I looked through the marriage records for Manhattan and added the spouses to their Wikipedia articles: Adolph married Emma Cohn on June 26, 1878 in Manhattan Leonard married Rosalie Jacobs (1847-1900) on June 29, 1870 in Manhattan Looks like I found one spouse dead in the year 1900, that explains why she wasn't mentioned in the obit. The woman doesn't look 60 years old so this may be the wife of one of the sons.

Mrs Adolph Lewisohn (the former Emma Cahn) died in 1916, "in her sixtieth year." See NYT on July 29, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9407E2D7173BE633A... The obituary mentions two sons: Sam A and Julius A and grandchildren. So this could be one of their wives.NYT searching finds that Mrs Samuel Lewisohn was very much a socialite, active in charities, and left art to museums. I also find mention of a Dr. and Mrs. Richard Lewison and a Mrs. Philip Lewisohn. So there are lots of possibilities.

Continuing the hunt. It is probably NOT Mrs. Samuel Adolph Lewisohn, since they were not married until 1918. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0CE6D81130E433A... But Mrs Philip Lewisohn was Cleopatra in a charity pageant on December 6, 1913 See NYT, December 7, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E0DE3DF1F3BE633A... According to NYT, November 18, 1917 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=940CE3DA113AE433A... She was the daughter of Randolph Guggenheimer. NYT, May 6, 1897 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B06E5DB143DE633A... reveals that her name was Adele, but I have been unable to find any pictures of her.
