Mrs. G. J. Kuhrts was a member of the Gaylord Two Year Club.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Kuhrts were prominent figures in the social and civic life of the Southland and are particularly well known in Los Angeles, where they have made their home for many years, and where Mr. Kuhrts had his offices as president of the Los Angeles Railway System.
While living at the Gaylord, Mr. Kuhrts became the President and General Manager of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation. He took this position upon the death of Henry E. Huntington (of the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, in San Marino), who had been Owner and President.
Along with the Kuhrts, a familiar name to many southern Californians, Mary E Ralphs was married to George A Ralphs, the founder of the Ralphs grocery store chain and also kept an apartment at the Gaylord, during this time, after Mr. Ralphs' passing. Mrs. Ralphs would travel the world, but always return to her home at the Gaylord.
These were just some of the well moneyed people who resided here at the Gaylord. The Gaylord history is full of many more such notables.
On the occasions when Mrs. Kuhrts entertained at The Gaylord, she was a delightful hostess, but her chief interests were centered about her two sons and her daughter, who also resided in the city.
Myra's Mother's maiden name was PRICE.
When Myra "Madge" H Bennett was born on January 2, 1871, in Austin, Minnesota, her father, John Anderson Bennett, was 34, and her mother, Amelia Amy Ann Price, was 33.
Myra married George Jacob Kuhrts on June 29, 1893, in Los Angeles, California. They had three children during their marriage. She died on November 24, 1955, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 84, and was buried in Inglewood, California.
