As to the Howard Goulds there is a
different story. Howard like George,
seemed to have a prediction for ac-
tresses. When quite a young man he
had an AFFAIR with Miss Odette Tyler,
an actress considerably his senior. It
was reported that young Gould was en-
gagged to marry Miss Tyler. Then
came the ghost OF Jay Gould in the
form Of that advisory committee
named in his viii George Gould and
other members of the family objected
To the proposed marriage.
Howard Gould went abroad, where
he met another actress, Miss Katherine
Clemmons. a California beauty. He
fell madly in love with her. Once

and Miss Clemmons.
A Happy Marriage.
Edwin Gould, the second son. has
been happily married for nearly fifteen
years. His wife was Miss Sarah Cam
tine Shady, u stepdaughter Of the
noted DR.. George f. Shrady of New
York. Miss Shrady was a beautiful
and accomplished girl, not wealthy and
not closely identified with the "swell"
set. The advisory committee approved

the Gould family is said to,have large
ly increased his patrimony, He in
herited about $4,000 000 and was said
to be worth S20000000 eight years aft
er his fathers death For i've years
he served in one of the regiments of
New York militia, becoming a captain.
He rose from the ranks and was quite
popular with rank and file.
Too Much Mother inI law
Frank Jay Gould. whose domestic
difficulties alleged to be due altogether
to too much mother-in-law' have just
becn aired in public, was,married oct,
I, 1902. to Miss Helen Margaret Kelly
of New York This was a Montague
CapuIct match. Mr. Gould being the
Romeo and Miss Kelly the Juliet. The
grandfather of the bride, the late Eu-
gene Kelly. was for years jay Gould s
greatest business enemy. These two
fnanciers were forever in litigation
over the disposition of vast funds.
When the elder Kelly and the elder
Gould died they bequeathed some of
the unsettled suits 10 their children.
Captain Edward Kelly father Of the
present Mrs. Frank Gould, fell heir to
this litigation on his side of the house.
