 Miller, of the produce and grocery firm of Lee, Dater & Miller. Miss Miller was then twenty-three years old and lived with her parents at 33 East Seventeenth street, now the site of the Century building. The house was one of those old-time mansions, few of which still exist in New York. In this house they lived for several years and here, on February 6, 1864, the first child, George Jay Gould, was born. Here also, Edwin, the second, was born two years later. Helen Gould, the oldest daughter, was born in 1870. Howard was born a year later. Their other children are Anna, who is now fifteen, and Frank, who is still a young boy.

George Jay Gould, the eldest son, instead of going to college went into business with his father, and has himself amassed a considerable fortune. He lived with his father until his marriage to Miss Edith Kingdon, once a member of the company at Daly's theater, which took place several years ago. He has three children, two boys, Kingdon and Jay, and one little girl. After his marriage George bought the house, No. 1 East Forty-seventh street, ajoining the rear of his father's home, from Amos Lawrence Hopkins. A passageway was built connecting the house with the Fifth avenue mansion. George Jay Gould lived there until about a month ago, when he moved to the house which he purchased from Jacob H. Schiff, at Fifth avenue and Sixty-seventh street. Edwin Gould then moved into the Forty-seventh street house. He is twenty-six years old and a graduate of Columbia college in the class of '88.
