Isabelle Scribner Fitz Hugh was the husband of Carter Harrison Fitz Hugh.
There were six children of Carter Harrison (July 6, 1861-11/5/1932) and Isabelle Scribner Fitz-Hugh (2/11/1869-4/25/1964).
The children were: Carter Harrison Fitz-Hugh, Jr. 12/19/1895-11/21/1937; Isabelle b 1891 d 1891; Virginia; Mildred 2/22/1893-8/19/1976; Emma Blair; and Scribner 3/22/1904-11/1/1949.
Carter Harrison Fitz Hugh came to Chicago from Longwood, Virginia in 1884 and founded a company called Fitz Hugh Luther Locomotive Co, in Hammond, IN. His office was in the Monadnock Building in Chicago. But they lived in Lake Forest (30 miles from Chicago). He was president of the Lake Forest Library and a founding member of the Onwentsia [Golf] Club.
They lived on Mayflower Road in Lake Forest, and their 38-room mansion was called "Insley", a reference to Isabelle's grandfather, John Insley Blair, a New Jersey railroad and steel tycoon. Mr. Fitz Hugh's family in Virginia had made a fortune "brokering the sale of used locomotives from Blair's regauged PA tracks to various impecunious Reconstruction-era southern railroads" [Classic Country Estates of Lake Forest, by Arthur Miller, Kim Coventry, and Daniel Meyer. p. 76, 2003.]
Isabelle Fitz Hugh's sister, Emma Scribner, lived across Mayflower Road in another mansion, "Blair Hall" . Emma and Isabelle Scribner were daughters of New York publisher Charles Scribner. Emma married Walter Cranston Larned, an attorney, art critic, writer, and promoter of the arts. Blair Hall was designed in the early 1880's by William LeBaron Jenney, and has been demolished. [I think Emma was much older than Isabelle, as Emma supposedly married in 1875. Isabelle didn't marry until 1890.]
Isabelle Fitz Hugh lived at Insley until her death in the 1960's. The house was extensively remodelled and restored (on much less land) in the 1990's.
