Zutis, Preface, Written by the Public Administrator of New York County who supervised the search for Ida Woods true identity in order to ward off the thousands of claims to her fortune .HER HUSBAND WAS PUBLISHER OF NY DAILY NEWS, & HIS BROTHER WAS MAYOR OF NYC, in 1860 IDA danced with the Prince of Wales Albert Edward (and future King), and met Abraham Lincoln IN 1861. After she died on March 12, 1932, of bronchial pneumonia, at the age of 94, no fewer than 1103 claimants squabbled over her estate. AT THE HERALD SQUARE HOTEL WHERE THEY LIVED IDA requested Copenhagen snuff, Havana cigars and jars of petroleum jelly, which Ida massaged onto her face for several hours each day. She was five feet tall and 70 pounds, Her complexion, in spite of her age, was as creamy and pink and unwrinkled as any I have ever seen. It was like tinted ivory. Her profile was like a lovely cameo. AFTER HER DEATH In an old box of stale crackers they discovered a diamond. Signed by Author(s).
