Early life

He graduated from Cornell University in 1886.

Career

He edited a literary journal called America for a few years, and also served as consul to Spain in Chicago. He published his first novel, With Edge Tools, in 1891.[1][2]

Together, they were the parents of three sons and one daughter:

  • Robert Farwell Chatfield-Taylor (1908–1980), who married Valborg Edison Palmer in 1928.[13]

After the death of his first wife in 1918, he remarried to Estelle (née Barbour) Stillman, the widow of George S. Stillman and daughter of George Harrison Barbour,[14] in 1920.[15][16]
