Rockefeller Family Feud Breaks Afresh in Cleveland
Special to The Sun reports a bitter feud between John D. Rockefeller and his youngest brother Frank, with middle brother William A. Rockefeller in the background, as wealth and family reputations hinge on allegations that John D. hides their aging father in Owego New York. Frank claims the elder Rockefeller’s fate and a forthcoming tell‑all book threaten John’s power, while Edith Rockefeller McCormick defends the family and notes jealousy fuels Frank’s attacks. Both brothers are spending the summer in Cleveland, openly at odds.
