dc.descriptionThe portrait Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly by John Singer Sargent on the western wa;; of the ballroom at Florham. While being one of the major leaders of New York society, wealth and social standing didn�t insulate her from tragedies. On New Year�s Day in 1896, Florence�s teenage daughter, Alice Twombly, died of pneumonia at her family country estate in Madison, New Jersey. Ten years later, Florence�s 18-year-old Harvard-bound son, Hamilton Jr., drowned in a New Hampshire lake while his parents and siblings were living in their summer home in Newport. Four years after the boy�s death, Hamilton Twombly, Sr. passed away�his death partly attributed to the devastating loss of his only son.
