Maud Coster of New York City married Count Otto von Salm-Hoogstraeten
in 1915. Does anyone have a date of death for her? I know she was
living as of 1985, at which point she was 90 years old.
Did either of her children marry? I know there is a Count Alexander
von Salm living in Tuxedo Park, New York-presumably a descendant of
Henry Alexander von Salm b. 1919.

Maud and the count were divorced. I searched SSDI
under first name "Maud" and date of birth "30 April 1895."
There was one match-- a Maud C (as in Coster?) French,
resident of the state of New York, who died on
29 December 1987. This is probably the ex-countess.
Maud's grand-niece, Antonia von Salm-Hoogstraeten,
graduated from Brown University a few years ago.

The item originally appeared in the May, 1984 edition of Town &

acticle.
A portion of this article was reprinted in the book, The Best Familes:
The Town & Country Social Directory, 1846-1996. Pub. Abrams, 1996,
where I found it:

French, Mrs. Stuyvesant Leroy-Salm-Hope-(Maud Coster) "We don't live
in any kind of grandeur here, we don't want to," remarks Mrs.
Stuyvesant French, ninety year old grande dame of Tuxedo Park. "Tuxedo
is a very unpretentious place. Some people move here, and try to be
pretentious, but they don't last."

Sorry no mention of the year of their divorce. It would be interesting
to know who her second husband Mr. Hope was.

Is there any chance any of these Hopes is related to Henry Philip Hope, the

A contemporary comment, quoted by Masters from Nancy Mitford's "The
Stanleys of Alderley", presumably from Stanley family correspondance:

"Lord Lincoln is to marry Miss Hope, the daughter of ugly little Henry
Hope with the big house in Piccadilly. She is illegitimate, but
pretty. Her mother is a Frenchwoman. She will have all Hope's fortune,
£50,000 a year. It is a great thing for the dukedom of Newcastle, and
will set it on its legs again."

It was as a result of this marriage that the surname of the dukes of
Newcastle became Pelham-Clinton-Hope. The male line became extinct,
and the dukedom with it, in 1988.

I don't know if other lines of the original Hopes survive, but the
fact that Henry left everything to an illegitimate daughter would
suggest not.

The Hope Diamond was said (as such things often are) to bring bad luck
to its owners.

in any kind of grandeur here, we don't want to," remarks Mrs.
Stuyvesant French, ninety year old grande dame of Tuxedo Park. "Tuxedo
is a very unpretentious place. Some people move here, and try to be
pretentious, but they don't last."
Sorry no mention of the year of their divorce. It would be interesting
to know who her second husband Mr. Hope was.
In the 1954 Social Register, she is Mrs. John G. Hope living at 333 E.
68th St., NYC, with her son, H. Alex Salm.

Thanks. I know there is a Lord Hope, and thought that her second
Husband might have been a member of that family.
Would remove the "s" from Salm.

From message below it appears that Jane and Peter Fonda (children of
Frances Ford Seymour and Henry Fonda) are second cousins once removed
of Peter, Count von Salm-Hoogstaeton (b. 1925).

Maud Coster of New York City married Count Otto von Salm-Hoogstraeten
in 1915. Does anyone have a date of death for her? I know she was
living as of 1985, at which point she was 90 years old.
Did either of her children marry? I know there is a Count Alexander
von Salm living in Tuxedo Park, New York-presumably a descendant of
Henry Alexander von Salm b. 1919.
Henry Alexander von Salm who was born in 1919 died on 14 November 2016 and his mother was born in 1 January 1884 and not on 30 April 1895.
