Rockefeller, Sr., died at 4:40 p. m. (C. D. T.) yesterday from cancer. The Chicago society leader, who onpe was recognized as the richest woman in the world, died peace fully after she had been in a coma for more than 13 hours. She would have been 60 years old on August 31st. Death occurred in an apartment in the Drake ho«el overlooking the Lake Shore drive mansion, the gift of her father, which she deserted a few weeks ago when, apparently, she realized the seriousness of her illness. With her when she died were her divorced husband, Harold F. McCormick; their daughters, Airs. Mathlide McCormick Oser and Airs. Muriel McCormick Hubbard; their son, Fowler; Mrs. Hubbard’s hus band, Major Elisha D. Hubbard, of Connecticut; Fowler’s wife of little more than a .year, the former “Fifi” Stillman; and Edwin Krenn, the Swiss architect who long had been her social escort and business advisor. Physicians who attended Mrs. McCormick said her last illness was the recurrence of a breast cancer for which she had been operated upon two years ago. Soon after she moved into the hotel apartment, close members of her family, separated for several years by disagreements over dom estic affairs, began to gather at her bedside and the seriousness of her condition became known publicly.. last week’s high total and in many instances, exceeded the record for any week this year.
