Edward Hamlin Everett

[1] Edward lived with his uncle in Cleveland for five years and spent summers in Bennington, Vermont, with his mother and stepfather.

In 1870, he returned to Cleveland, where he took a job as a bank clerk, staying there for another seven or eight years during which he learned about glass manufacturing.

Together, they were the parents of three daughters:[1] In 1918, Everett was introduced to Grace Belle Burnap (1879–1969) at a dinner given by society hostess Mary Foote Henderson, widow of U.S.

After spending some time in Europe, Everett married Grace on March 27, 1920, at St. James Church in Chicago.

[8] A singer, Grace had attended the Boston Conservatory of Music and studied voice in Munich and Paris.

Everett died at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on April 26, 1929, of complications from prostate cancer surgery.

He was buried in the Everett mausoleum in Park Lawn Cemetery in Bennington, Vermont (purportedly modeled after the Theseion at the Acropolis of Athens).

[1] Though his youngest daughter Sarah, he was a grandfather of Grace Elizabeth "Lisa" McCowan, who married Thomas C. Foley in 1989.

Beginning in the summer of 1912, he extensively renovated and refurnished the hotel to make it more upscale and appealing to an affluent clientele.
