Poet Untermeyer faces court over tangled marriages
In New York a federal court battle pits Esther Untermeyer against Louis Untermeyer over who is legally married and entitled to his fortune. The poet described a century of marriages starting in 1907, with Mexican divorces clouding his status and a judge to decide whether Jean Starr, Esther, Virginia Moore, or Bryna Ivens Untermeyer is the lawful spouse. A separate line notes 1949 US coin mint counts.
