Whittlesey Taken by Death His daughter, Enid, became the focus of a scandal in the 1920s, She was interested in performance arts and studied music with a teacher, with whom she became involved. Charles discovered the involvement and reportedly threatened physical harm if the teacher didn't make an honest woman of his daughter. They immediately married, but obtained an annulment 2 days later. (Unbeknown to Enid, her lover was already married.)
