Ea Wealthy Widower Was Married 11 Days to Stenographer. FAMILY DIDN'T KNOW OF IT New York, Sept 27.—Arrangements for the funeral of Charles N. Maxwell, a2 millionaire, in the home of Mrs. Ellen Lynch, at Bensonhurst, instead of in his own apartments in this city, revealed a remarkable romance in the life of Mrs. Lynch's pretty daughter, Ellen. ; On September 11, Miss Lynch, who {s 22 years old, was married to Mr. Maxwell, who was 63, a widower with two sons and a daughter, all married. His family was not aware of his mar- riage, and it was not until the day after his death that young Mrs. Max- well informed them and claimed her husband’s body. Now this young bride according to a conservative estimate, from the estate of her husband. Mr. Maxwell's wealth is estimated at more than $5,000,000. On Septem- ber 23 he was suddenly stricken with internal hemorrhage, while in his apartments. His housekeeper, Miss Emma L. Stroub, who had been with him a number of years, called a phy- siclan, but Mr. Maxwell died in 15 minutes. Mr. Maxwell has two sons, Rymon and Charles, and one daughter, Mrs. Emma Bronner. Shortly after Mr. Maxwell died young Mrs. Maxwell eall- ed. Both Rymon Maxwell and Miss Stroub greeted her as Miss Lynch. To their surprise she walked over by the casket containing Mr. Maxwell's body and said: “I am Mrs. Maxwell.” “Why, that is impossible,” said Miss Stroub. “Mrs. Maxwell died last April.” “] know that Mr. Maxwell's first wife is dead, but we were married on September 11, in Atlantic City.” Rymon Maxwell at once began an investigation and verified the girl's story. In view of the facts in the case, he could not resist her demand for possession of her husband’s body, and it was sent to her mother's home in Bensonhurst, where the funeral was held. Mrs. Maxwell was prostrated, but her vounger sister told the ro mantic story. “It ig true that my sister and Mr. Maxwell were married in Atlantic City,” she sald. “All of us were at the wedding. It is not the case, though, of a wealthy man marrying a poor girl. My sister is in independent cir cumstances, because my father, who was John Francis Lynch, a well-knc 0 breeder of horses, left her a consider able sum when he died. We had known Mr. Maxwell for some time, and knew of his great love for my sis- ter. The marriage had the entire ap- proval of our family. They were mar- ried by a clergyman and not by a jus tice of the peace, as has been stated by Mr. Maxwell's son. Mr. Maxwell's family knew nothing of it because he did not see fit to communicate with them.” ROOT IN THE CITY OF MEXICO Thousands On Hand to Greet American Secretary of State.
