Cynthia Burke Roche (10 April 1884 – 8 December 1966) was a Newport, Rhode Island socialite and an art collector. ==Life and work== She was born on April 10, 1884 in London to James Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy and Frances Ellen Work. Her brothers were Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy, the maternal grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales., and the Hon. Francis Burke Roche. She became a naturalized United States citizen in 1908. In 1904, ''Good Housekeeping'' magazine described her as among the members of New York's Four Hundred who were daring and skillful automobilists. Roche was also recognized as a skilled tennis player and horserider. She married Arthur Scott Burden on June 11, 1906, with whom she had a daughter, Eileen Burden Maynard Robins (October 15, 1910 - March 24, 1970)〔 married to Walter Maynard, whose daughter Sheila Maynard, a clinical social worker who worked in Islamabad, married Nicholas Platt, a career diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Pakistan, Zambia and the Philippines, and had Adam Platt, New York Magazine restaurant critic, actor Oliver Platt and Nicholas Platt, Jr. Arthur Burden was a noted businessman and President of the Burden Iron Works, but his career was significantly impaired after two horse falls, the second of which seriously aggravated the injuries incurred from the first. As a result of these injuries, Burden was placed under constant care from late 1913, and James Burden, Arthur Burden's brother, filed a petition in Cynthia Roche's absence, (as both she and her daughter were in London at the time), requesting that Arthur Burden be declared incompetent.〔 Burden died from pneumonia in June, 1921.〔 She married Guy Fairfax Cary, Sr. in 1922 and they honeymooned at the fishing lodge of Rober Walton Goelet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cynthia Roche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
