'''Hiram Royal Mallinson''' was a New York silk manufacturer, "president of the country's largest silk manufacturing company, a patron member of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts [sic] and a member of the United Hunts Club, Manhattan Club and others." <sup>1</sup> Mr. and Mrs. Mallinson donated $250,000 to the [[Trudeau%20Sanatorium|Trudeau Sanatorium]] "in memory of their daughter, Mrs. [[Lorna%20Mallinson%20Bowen|Lorna Mallinson Bowen]], who had been a patient, and died at the age of 28." <sup>2</sup> Perhaps Marguerite Armstrong was dissembling a bit when she described Lorna Mallinson as having been a patient, which here is assumed to be a TB patient; or perhaps the ''Milwaukee Sentinel'' was fed a family cover story that after a "nervous break-down, she was sent for a month to Dr. Ford's sanatorium, near Kingston, New York." Lorna's illness, whether TB or a nervous breakdown, is not known. The name Mallinson also appeared on a map of camps on [[Upper%20St.%20Regis%20Lake|Upper St. Regis Lake]] in 1960. <sup>3</sup> 

Lorna Mallinson Bowen fell or jumped to her death in the midst of a dispute between her father and her husband. Mr. Mallinson died a few years later upon receipt of notice that his son-in-law, Eugene A. Bowen, was suing him for a million dollars for alienation of his wife's affections. <sup>4</sup>
