Edwin Gould, Sr. (February 26, 1866 – July 12, 1933), was an American investor and railway official.
He was born in Manhattan, New York City to railroad financier Jay Gould on February 26, 1866. He studied at Columbia University. He retired in 1926, and he died on July 12, 1933. After his dinner he complained of not feeling well, and died after midnight in his bed, at his home in Oyster Bay, New York. He was buried in the family mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery.
TIME magazine writes on July 24, 1933:
His brothers and sisters, save for Helen, all insisted on marrying actresses or noblemen — generally more than once. His sister Anna divorced Count Boni de Castellane and married the Duc de Talleyrand. His brother Howard (now living abroad) married Actress Viola Kathrine Clemmons and separated from her. His brother Frank Jay Gould (now settled on the Riviera as owner of Nice's unprofitable Casino) married Margaret Kelly, a banker's daughter, then British Actress Edith Kelly, then French Actress Florence La Caze. His elder brother George had married Actress Edith Kingdon, by whom he had seven children, and after her death in 1921 married British Actress Guinevere Sinclair, legitimatizing three other children he had had by her. ... But he modestly went his way, made and gave away his modest millions, died without ostentation, of a sudden heart attack.
He married Sarah Cantine Shrady (c. 1870-1951). She inherited $US 10,000,000 upon his death. They had two sons:
He was a very active member of the Jekyll Island Club (aka The millionaires Club) on Jekyll Island, Georgia along with J.P. Morgan and William Rockefeller among others.
