In 1881 he married Lila Osgood Vanderbilt, daugh- ter of the railroad magnate, William H.

He possessed an excellent nat- ural business faculty which quickly be- came manifest in his management of the Wagner Palace Car Co., of which he was president for many years. Another interest, of a different kind, which fell into his hands, was the construction of the Adirondack and St. Lawrence R. R., a line which extends through the Adi- rondack wilderness from Herkimer, N. Y., to the St. Lawrence River, a dis- tance of two hundred and thirty-three
miles. This undertaking
was solely managed by him, and since 1891 he has been president of the company. His in- terests now extend to a considerable number of railroad and other corpora- tions, in each of which he is director or holds other official position, his bus- iness connections being very diversified. For three years he held the position of president-general in the National Socie- ty of the Sons of the American Revolu- tion,-an organization which differs es- sentially in the character of its member- ship from the similarly named Sons of the Revolution. He is vice-president of the Vermont Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. To his Shelburne Farms estate in Vermont he adds a large preserve in the Adirondacks, which is known by the title of Ne-ha-sa-ne Park.
