Mrs. Courtland H. Young
Toronto Daily Star, September 22 1926
This led me to wonder: who was Courtland H. Young?
Apparently, he was a magazine publisher in the 1920s. When I searched for this a few years ago, I found a three-part article on his life and his magazines that described the divorce and court proceedings of Young and the former Dorothea Campbell in great detail, including that he allegedly beat her and was constantly drunk. According to the article, he was 50 and she was 24 at the time of the photo above and the divorce finally went through in 1928. Unfortunately, this article is now gone.
A more recent search turned up:
- A photo of Mr. Young.
- The cover of Young's Magazine from January 1911.
- A New York Times article from 1927 that describes the couple's multiple divorce proceedings.
