Unfortunately, the "real love story" of Eugene V. R. Thayer II and Gladys Brooks came to an end, and the couple divorced a few years later. Eugene later married Elizabeth Harding Prince in 1923. He died in 1937. Gladys lived on to the age of 94, passing away in 1976. She was an avid collector of antique furniture, china glass, prints, and other artifacts. Over the years, she gave many of her collections to museums and other institutions.
