Abandoned Wives and a Rich Man’s Vows in Virginia Tale
A Star writer recounts four wives and a famed financier Ellis Corey of Carnegie Steel, who abandoned a faithful Braddock wife for an actress. The piece condemns wealth, infidelity, and the wrecked families, noting the sister and son defend the wife while the father denounces the affair. It cites Winchester lore of another man’s four marriages and ends with a caveat about aging, fourth wife.
