Mr. Fiermonte followed Mrs. Dick to New York and Palm Beach and tried to enter Bermuda, where she has a home, but was denied admission to the country. He pursued his suit when Mrs. Dick came to New York to recover from the effects of a Fall. [sic]
Mrs. Fiermonte, whose maiden name was Madeleine Talmadge [sic] Force, was married in 1911 to John Jacob Astor, who was drowned on the Titanic.
