Lucien P. Smith's December baby
Sphere
Mary Eloise Smith pregnant on Titanic
His body was not among the few that were recovered. They were returning from their honeymoon abroad. The husband was twenty-one, the bride is nineteen. Mrs Smith was asleep in her stateroom when the ship crashed into the iceberg. Her husband, who was in the smoking room at the time, rushed to her room and awakened her.
They reached the deck as the third lifeboat was being lowered. Mrs Smith clung to her husband, but he insisted that she should take the small boat, from which she was rescued by the Carpathia. The boy, “Smith II” will also be “Baby II” as all New York has been excited by the advent of Mrs Astor’s baby, who, like his half-brother, inherits great riches from the unfortunate father whom he was destined never to know.
(The Sphere, December 28, 1912)
