Mrs. Astor Gives Up
Big Fortune To Wed
WILLIAM K. DICK.
New York —AUs. John Jacob
Astor, who was rescued in the Ti
tanic disaster in which her hus
band perished, was married at her
country home at Barr Harbor, Me.
Monday, to Wilham K. Dies, a
wealthy sugar refiner of Brooklyn.
By contracting this marriage,
which came as a surprise to all ex
cept the closest friends of the
couple, Mrs. Astor relinquishes
the incom ou a trust fund of §5,-
000,000 bequeathed to her by Col.
Astor in his will “for so long dur
ing her natural life as she shall re
main my widow.” Under the terms
of Col. Astor's will this money will
revert to his son, Vincent Astor.
Similarly the Astor Fifth avenue
townhouse and its contents will be
come Vincent Astor’s property.
Airs. Astor is 24 years old, about
five years the juniot-of Mr. Dick,
who is a member of au old Brook
lyn family, a club man, a director
of several banks and industrial
concerns. Air. Dick and Mrs. As
tor have been friends since child
hood, when both lived in Brooklyn.
They have been engaged, it is said,
about two months.
Mrs. Astor, formerly Madeleine
Talmage Force, became in 1911,
when 19 years of age, the second
wife ot Col. Astor, then 46, many
times a millionaire, bead of the
Astor family and an author, sol
dier and social leader. His first
wife, Ava Willing of Philadelphia,
mother of Vincent Astor and
Alice Aluriel Astor, had divorced
him in 1909.
About four months after Col.
Astor’s death in April 1912, his
widow gave birth to a son, John
-Jacob Astor. For this posthumous
heir Cut. Astor had provided a
trust fund of §3,000,000. Airs.
Astor, as Mrs. Dick, is expected
to continue as the legal guardian
Jof GG S child.
