Harry Elkins Widener
The son of Eleanor and George, Harry had spent some of
his vacation in Europe searching for rare books to add to his
considerable private collection. Harry was a graduate of The
Hill School in Pottstown, and later Harvard. Like his father,
Harry stayed back on board the sinking Titanic after setting his
mother aboard the last lifeboat to leave the ship. His body was
never recovered, and he is also remembered with a cenotaph in
the family mausoleum.
The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library at Harvard
was founded in his honor, thanks to a monetary contribution
from his mother Eleanor. Legend has it that she donated the
money for the library on the condition that every graduate of
Harvard be taught how to swim.
William Crothers Dulles
A bachelor, owner of a horsebreeding farm in Goshen, New
York, and prominent Philadelphia
lawyer. He occupied 1st Class
Passenger Cabin A-18 on board
the "RSS Titanic," which he
boarded at Cherborg, France.
He died when the ship sank;
his body was recovered by the
C.S. Mackay-Bennett, he was
listed as body #133. Dulles is the
only male passenger of Laurel
Hill whose body was recovered
after the ship sank. Among his
personal possessions were a gold
watch and chain, a gold plated
knife, and a gold tie clip.
