The Stonors: A Forgotten Dynasty

Noreen Stonor Drexel (1922-2012); perhaps one
of the most famous members of the Stonor family.

In 1911, Ralph Stonor, 5th Baron of Camoys, in a desperate attempt to save his bankrupt family from having to auction off and sell their beloved country estate, 'Stonor Park', married Mildred Sherman, daughter of William Watts Sherman. Mildred, one of those famed dollar-princesses, was pushed into the marriage by her imperious, bible-bashing mother, who weighed an enormous 270 pounds! With the Sherman dowry, the Stonor family was able to save their beloved country estate; with Mildred purchasing every single antique and heirloom to save it. Besides 'Stonor Park', Mildred and her husband lived in Newport, RI, where her parents summered, at a home known as 'Stonor Lodge'. Ralph and Mildred had three children; Sherman (1913-1976), Nadine (1917-2005) and Noreen (1922-2012). To read more about this forgotten dynasty, visit my pinterest page; named "The Stonors Family".

  1. Di jam-jam makan siang, miso lestari penuh oleh pengunjung, karena itu jika tidak ingin berbaris, mending tiba di jam-jam senggang. Jika aku umumnya sore hari.

    Kesempatan yang cukup minus ialah tempatnya yang dekat pada jalan raya, jadi cukup berisik dan crawded. Liannya ok banget Miso Lestari memang jadi salah satunya rumah makan yang jual miso dengan rasa yang sedap, kaya rempah, dan rasa renyah dari Miso Lestari memang terbaik.

    Karena itu tidak aneh bila Miso Lestari selalu ramai dengan konsumen sehari-harinya. https://makananunik.com/ Nach bila kalian ada di Kota Pemantang Siantar percaya diri kalian bertandang ke Miso Lestari.
