help me find a lost princess
Hello!
I am an author of several books. Several years ago, I recall reading an article in a Boston paper, circa 1898 (or thereabouts) about a German princess who ran away or eloped to New York City. Her lover stole from her, then abandoned her. She wandered the city alone, was recognized and taken in, but succombed to pneumonia and died. At the time of reading this, I thought it interesting, but did not note the date of the article or the name of the princess. Now, I want to write a novel based loosely on her adventures, giving her a happy ending. Does this story ring a bell with anyone? I've looked everywhere on-line, but cannot find mention of this princess. Any help would be appreciated. Fingers crossed,
Jane
