  • As noted in http://classic.judson.org/images/Judson_House_12_Elly_Dickason.pdf: "On April 7, 1904, Eleanor married John Stewart (Jack) Tanner, a medical doctor from Kentucky. As a wedding gift, Mrs. Anderson bought her son-in-law a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and Jack Tanner became a stockbroker.

  • From https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-survivor/virginia-cla..., regarding Virginia Estelle McDowell's second husband, John Stewart Tanner:
    • "Virginia continued to travel extensively throughout her life, including shortly after her husband's demise. She left Los Angeles and travelled to New York where she remarried in her cousin Howard McDowell's home on 26 September 1912 to Indiana-born John Stewart Tanner (b. 6 December 1876), a Los Angeles resident with no stated profession2,3; her parents-in-law and own mother had no knowledge of the event until after when they were informed by letter. Tanner, reportedly a handsome man, was a divorcee and prominent in Los Angeles where he was known as a proficient amateur tennis player and a fine horseman and polo player.
    • "Her hasty remarriage and extended absences from her son's life incensed her late husband's parents who it seems later took their grandson into their care and a custody battle ensued between Virginia's mother and the Clarks,4 the Clarks insinuating that Virginia was an unfit mother and abandoned him without adequate provision for his upkeep. The following month joint guardianship was awarded to both parties whereby they had custody six months each year in turn. Young James Ross Clark appeared with his paternal grandparents on both the 1920 and 1930 censuses.
    • "As per John Tanner's 1918 passport he and Virginia appeared to have spent much time living in France until 1914.
    • "Virginia and her new husband later divorced, perhaps before the close of the decade and before 1922. In October of 1922 she applied to a US passport to visit Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland; she was described as a divorcee standing at 5' 5" with a wide mouth, round chin, low forehead, oval face and a straight nose; she had dark hair, hazel eyes and a fair complexion."
