Item Description

Sitwell book, light wear, with bookplate for Emily O’Neill Davies, the tragic socialite.

Emily O'Neill Davies was a socialite and heiress, known for her marriages and tragic death. She was the daughter of Frederick Martin Davies and Emily O'Neill Davies. She married William Henry Vanderbilt III in 1923 at Grace Church in Manhattan, but they divorced in 1927. She then married Sigourney Thayer in 1928, but they divorced a year later. Her last marriage was to the writer Raoul Whitfield in 1933, but they were in the process of getting a divorce when Emily was found shot to death in her bedroom on May 24, 1935. Her death was ruled a suicide by a coroner's jury, despite evidence to the contrary, as the bullet wound was on her left side and she was right-handed. This tragic end to her life has become a part of her legacy.
