About Agathe Whitehead

http://genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00462827&tree=LEO

Agathe Whitehead was the first wife of Georg Johannes Ludwig von Trapp. She was a niece of St John Brodrick, 1st Earl of Midleton (he was her aunt Hilda's brother) and a granddaughter of Robert Whitehead, who invented the modern torpedo. Agathe christened his first command, the U-boat U-6.

Agathe's inherited wealth sustained the couple and permitted them to start a family. Their first child, Rupert, was born on November 1, 1911, at Pola. The family lived at Pina Budicina 11. The marriage produced six more children: Agathe, also born at Pola; Maria Franziska; Werner; Hedwig; and Johanna; all born at Zell am See at the family home—the Erlhof—and Martina, born at Klosterneuburg at the family home, the Martinsschlössel.

On September 3, 1922, Baroness von Trapp died of scarlet fever contracted from her daughter Agathe. The family purchased a villa in Aigen, a suburb of Salzburg, and moved in 1924
