Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 111th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1921, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Kate Stevens, Heir in a $1,200,000 Estate, Runs Away to Marry.”
The article focused on a young heiress whose mother filed a suit against her after she dropped out of school to marry.
“Mrs. Stevens described the marriage as a ‘foolish, youthful escapade,’ which, she asserted, would not be permitted to interfere in any way with her plans for her daughter’s education,” the Eagle reported.
