Hudson mayor, Levi Longley.
An orphan at age 12, Gretchen lived
with her grandmother and maternal
aunts at 751 Warren Street, in a house
that no longer exists. She and her
aunts Kornelia Theodosia Andrews
and Mrs. John C. Hogeboom boarded
the Titanic in Southhampton under
ticket number 13502 and occupied
cabin D-9.
