According to the book "Nellie Bly, Daredevil, Reporter, Feminist (1864-1922)" by Kroeger, Brooke. published in 1994, she married Robert Livingston Seaman in a May-December relationship. She was 31 (born 1864) and RL Seaman was 72. He died 1904. I don't have a birth date on him, but he was probably was born in the 1820s. He had family who weren't too happy about this adventurous lady marrying into the family. When he passed on, Nellie Bly became President of the Iron Clad Manufacturing Co. Nellie Bly was born Elizabeth Jane Cochran and she worked for various newspapers. One of her assignments for the New York World was to go AROUND THE WORLD IN 72 DAYS. She actually made it: "72 days, 11 minutes and 14 seconds". She beat the record of Phineas Fogg--the Jules Verne character in "Around the World in Eighty Days". My cousin, Dr. Harold F. Powell, Editor of Ancestry, the Quarterly Bulletin of the Palm Beach County, FL Genealogical Society was kind enough to send me a copy of his review of this book. Since I have a Nellie Bly and a Seaman in my family tree, I think it would be nice to know a bit more. Any information would be appreciated. Marilyn Steber in San Diego
