Yet personal relations between the brothers had been pleasanter in the last year or so of Mr. McCormick's life. The elder brother had taken considerable interest in the marriage of his brother Leander's daughter, Henrietta Laura, to a visiting Englishman, Frederick Goodhart. After hearing of Cyrus McCormick's death Mr. Goodhart wrote from England, where Leander McCormick was at the time: "Poor Mr. McCormick was quite overcome and stunned by the news. You can hardly imagine how great cause for satisfaction he feels that he and his brother parted on the best of terms." (Source)
