Notes for Marian PHELPS
Around 1900 the marriage to von Rottenburg failed. Marian divorced him and returned to the United States with her children. She also returned to her maiden name. Thus her son was left with the name Phelps Phelps -- to the amusement of subsequent generations.
Mrs. Marian Phelps Peters, wife of Theodore Peters of 70 West Forty-ninth Street, died yesterday at her residence. She was the only daughter of the late William Walter Phelps, Minister to Austria, and a granddaughter of Joseph E. Sheffield, founder of the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale. Mr. Peters, whom she married at her Summer home, Teaneck Grange, Englewood, in May 1917, was her second husband. The first was Franz von Rottenburg, at one time Under Secretary of the Interior of Germany. She was a member of the Colony Club.
