Anne, Baroness Dőry de Jobaháza, formerly Princess Anna of Ardeck ( née Anne Hollingsworth Price) (August 25, 1868 [a] – April 24, 1945) was an American heiress and actress who married into the European aristocracy.
Anne was born on August 25, 1868, at Ellerslie Hall in Edgemoor, near Wilmington, Delaware. [b] She was a daughter of oil magnate James Price II (1834–1904) and Sarah M. (née Harlan) Price (1832–1898). [4] Her brother, Samuel Harlan Price, was married to Susan Coleman Wells (later Mrs. Morris R. Stroud). [5] Anne was one of five sisters, who all married into the European nobility, [1] which included Margaret Plater Price (who married in 1882 Edmund, Baron Wucherer von Huldenfeld, [c] who was tutor to Archduke Eugen and Lord of the Manor of Gleinstätten), [6] Susan Harlan Price (who married in 1885 Alexandru Socec, [d] a general in Romanian Army), [7] Matilda Louise Price (who married in 1883 Gábor, Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza, [e] the King's Chamberlain who adopted their son-in-law Heinrich Thyssen), [8] and Sallie Mae Price [f] (who married in 1891 Maximillian, Baron von Berg [g]). [4] [9]
Her paternal grandparents were Joseph Tatnall Price [h] and Matilda Louise (née Sanderson) Price, [10] and her maternal grandparents were Susan Preston (née Fairlamb) Harlan and Samuel Harlan Jr., of Harlan, Hollingsworth & Co., shipbuilders in Wilmington (who built Yampa, which was purchased by German Emperor William II [11] [12] [13]). [14] Harlan and Hollingsworth was acquired by Bethlehem Steel in 1904, although her grandfather Harlan had died in 1883 in Vienna. [10] [15]
Anne and her five sisters all were "beautiful and charming belles of Wilmington and Philadelphia, where they made their debuts." [1] They spent a year in Europe with their parents, arriving in Vienna in the early 1880s. Matilda was the only daughter who ever returned to America. [1] [i] Reportedly, every time their father would return from his trip back to Philadelphia to manage the family business, one of his daughters would be engaged. [16]
On December 17, 1890, Anne was married to Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Ardeck (1858–1902) in Dresden. [17] At the time of their wedding, the Prince, the eldest son of Maria von Hanau-Hořowitz and Prince William of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld, [18] was a Lieutenant of the 2nd Hussar Regiment of the Prussian Army. [17] His father was a son of Charles, Landgrave of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld and Princess Sophie of Bentheim and Steinfurt (a daughter of Prince Louis William Geldricus Ernest of Bentheim and Steinfurt. Notwithstanding that his mother was a daughter of Frederick William, Elector of Hesse-Cassel, the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt regarded his parents' marriage as morganatic. Upon his parents' divorce in 1872, his mother and the children were styled Princes of Ardeck and Princesses of Ardeck. [19]
Her mother died in Stuttgart in April 1892. [10] Prince Friedrich died on April 1, 1902, at Villa Wilhelmshöhe. [20]
On February 4, 1904, she married Hungarian magnate Baron József Döry de Jobaháza (1868–1954) in Mihályi (formerly the Kingdom of Hungary). He was a son of Baron Nicholas Miklós Dőry de Jobaháza and Baroness Mária von Horváth de Szürnyeg. [21] Together, they were the parents of four daughters (three of whom married titles), [16] including: [16]
In September 1904, her father died, also in Stuttgart. Anne and her husband's home was in Schloss Hody bei Galanta, Pressburger Comitate, Hungary. [1] In 1910, they acquired Schloss Johnsdorf in Szepes County, Hungary. [22] [23]
In 1945, after the Russians pillaged Schloss Johnsdorf and carried off their daughter Mária, Anne and her husband fled to Austria where she died a month later, aged 80, on April 24, 1945, from "hardships suffered under the Russian occupation of Austria." [24] Their daughter died three days later. [24] Anne left her entire estate to her and the Baron Döry-Jobaháza, except for $750 that was directed towards the care of her first husband's grave in Warmbrunn, Schleisen, Germany. [16] József died April 14, 1954, in Johnsdorf. [25]
