Alice Cornelia Thaw Whitney, former Countess of Yarmouth - Circa 1903

Alice Cornelia Thaw Whitney, once the Countess of Yarmouth by marriage, was the daughter of William Thaw Sr., a distinguished American businessman who built his fortune in transportation and banking. He was considered one of the 100 wealthiest Americans of his time, owning a large part of the Pennsylvania Company, the parent company of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1882, this railroad was the world's leading transportation enterprise in terms of traffic and revenue, and it was also the world's largest corporation. In 1889, her father died, leaving millions in the William Thaw Coke Trust for her when she came of age. She was one of the "American dollar princesses'' — wealthy American women who wed European nobles from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Alice Thaw met George Seymour, the impecunious Earl of Yarmouth, at a party in Washington, D.C. The Pittsburgh Post stated, "he decided he couldn't exist happily without her." Alice departed for Florida, and George happened to board the same train south. They announced their engagement in February 1903, and by April 27, 1903, they wed in Pittsburgh. The Earl pressured her mother to increase the dowry, threatening to cancel the marriage. Following a grand wedding, the newlyweds set off for an English honeymoon, with a marshal on their trail, seeking the Earl's baggage for unpaid debts. Many speak of the Countess's unhappy life, noting the Earl's mistreatment starting just months into the marriage. By January 1908, Alice sought a divorce from Yarmouth. Their marriage was annulled later that year due to non-consummation. (The skeptic in the OP says that's probably not true.) On March 22, 1913, Alice entered into her second marriage with Geoffrey George Whitney Sr., a stockbroker at Whitney & Elwell. They resided in Milton, Massachusetts and had two sons. The scandal of her marriage and later divorce would pale in comparison to Alice's brother Harry Thaw, who soon perpetrated an even greater scandal by murdering famous architect Stanford White in front of hundreds of witnesses at the rooftop theater of New York City's Madison Square Garden on June 25, 1906, for past abuses of his wife [Evelyn Nisbit.](https://reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/s/Y4HDTW3XKW) Read more Alice Cornelia Thaw [here.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Cornelia_Thaw)
