| Notes |
- Daughter of Hiram Sibley, founder of Western Union. She married twice, f i rst to Isaac Seymour ("Ike") Averell. They had two children, Elizabet h an d James, both of whom died young (aged 11 and 27 respectively). Emil y use d part of her considerable fortune to found Rochester's Memorial Ar t Gall ery in memory of James. She divorced Ike despite the fact that hig h socie ty ladies at that time were expected to remain in their marriage s come he ll or high water; years later Ike was described by a local jour nalist sim ply as "a bad man". Her second, apparently much happier, marri age was t o James Sibley Watson, son of her father's Western Union busine ss partner , Don Alonzo Watson. Their son, James Jr. (known as "Sibley" ) became a su ccessful and highly respected doctor. Her monument and unus ual flat ston e were designed by architect, author and occultist Claud e B ragdon.
