The Vanderbilt Family.

In its notes regarding the late Cor
neius Vanderbilt, the New York Times
Says.
n The sons of William H. Vanderbilt
were Cornelius, William X, Frederick
w. and George w. Vanderbilt. The
daughters were Mrs. Elliot F. Shepard,
Mrs. w. D. Sloane, Mrs. H. M'Kay
Twombly and Mrs. Seward Webb. Cor
nelius married Miss Alice Gwynne, of
CINCINNATI, the daughter Of well
known lawyer. The first child born to
them William H. Vanderbilt, died
while he was in his junior year at Yale.
After his death Cornelius Vanderbilt
and his wife presented to Yale the me-
mortal hall which is known by the fam
lily name. This was erected at a cost OF
$500 900, and Is one Of the finest build
ings in the country, The oldest living
son, Cornelius, jr, was graduated from
Yale. He married in August, 1896, Miss
Grace Wilson, the youngest daughter
of Richard T. Wilson. He is the invent
or Of a new type of locomotive. The
next chldr Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt,
was mai itu w dy iiC w iiilHSS,
a son of the x-Secretary Of the Navy,
on August rs, 1896, at The Breakers.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt was graduated
last June Reginald C. Vanderbilt is a
student at Yale. The youngest child
Gladys NJ Vanderbilt, Is only twelve
years old, and is at home.
The breach between Mr. Vanderbilt
and his son Cornelius, jr., caused by the
latter's marriage with Miss Grace Will
son, is said to have never been closed.
While Mr.. VanderbIts family abso-
lutely refused to speak Of their domes-
tic affairs, it is said that Mr. Vanderbilt
opposed his sons marriage because he
thought he was too young and that his
health was not Of the best at the time
of the marriage, wherefore he thought
he would better wait awhile. The we'd
ding, on August 8, 1896, without the
consent of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt, re-
suited in GOODNESS between the son
and his father and mother. Mrs Van
derbilt has shared her husbands dis
pleasure at her sons disobedience, and
people say that the young man has not
yet been forgiven by his mother.
One Of the greatest griefs which Mr..
Vanderbilt had to bear was the death
of his eldest son, William H. Vanderbilt.
The young man had been of age only
few months when he died in the house
at Fifth-ave. and Fifty-seventh-s
His death was caused by typhoid fever,
after an illness of three weeks. He was
