Show NELLIE GRANT WEDS AGAIN k s?6 The marriage recently of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorls to, Frank H. Jones, a Chicago banker, was in sharp contrast to her first marriage, 38 years ago, to Algernon J. Sartorls, an English Eng-lish army officer. Nellie Grant was then the idol of the nation and her marriage took place in the east room of the White House while her distinguished father was president. It was one of the greatest social events the White House had seen up to that time, or perhaps since. Simple, amiable and unaffected, Nellie Grant, the only daughter of General Grant, had endeared en-deared herself to the American people and she went with her husband to their English home accompanied by the heartiest good wishes. In England she was presented to Queen Victoria and dined at Windsor Castle. Yet her life in England proved prov-ed most unhappy. Her husband treated treat-ed her with injustice and cruelty, so much so that her father-in-law's sympathy was aroused in her behalf and he made earnest efforts to effect a restoration of good feeling between husband and wife. Failing in this, he gave her a small London house in Cadogan place,' forced his son to give her a country home near Hampton and settled a hand-' some income upon her. Upon his death, in 1890, he left her the town house in which she had lived after her separation from her husband and also settled set-tled upon her $35,000 a year. Three years after the death of the elder Sartoris her husband died and Mrs. Sartorirs received the principal of his income, as guardian of her children, chil-dren, and the lease of the country house. |
