Reconciles Father and Duke over Five Million Quarries
The Duchess of Manchester, daughter of Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati, acted as peace mediator between her father and the Duke over prolific slate quarries valued at about five million dollars on the Kylemore Castle estate. Irish law grants landowners subsurface rights, leading to a potential court suit. An equal division of profits was reportedly tentatively agreed, but ratification remains uncertain and hostilities could resume. The event underscores tensions around American heiresses marrying British nobility and the Dowager Duchess of Manchester remains a focal figure in court gossip.
