"The Times Obituary October 18th 1937
He was a man 'of striking personality and in any company arrested attention and dominated the scene. Those who knew him slightly found his personality overpowering and in consequence imagined him too be hard, but his friends knew this was but the outward veneer of a shy and highly sensitive nature, beneath which was hidden a depth of affection and understanding which is given to but few. Perhaps his outstanding characteristic was his deep feeling and sympathy for the 'underdog' and he was always anxious to help anyone in trouble. Another notable trait was an intense dislike of publicity which he would go to great lengths to avoid. In his youth he won many prizes in lawn-tennis tournaments; he also played association football, having a natural aptitude for games. He enjoyed shooting and fishing and became a first class shot and an expert fisherman. Perhaps the latter was his favourite sport and he spent many happy holidays fishig in Connemara'."7Richard Turner, Family History Society of Cheshire

ISMAY---On Oct. 17, 1937, at his residence, 15, Hill Street, Mayfair, BRUCE, husband of FLORENCE ISMAY. Funeral service St. Paul's Knitsbridge, 2.30 to-morrow (Thursday). Interment (private) Putney Vale Cemetery."9Hugh Miller, Publications - London Cemeteries, 3rd Edition.
"Putney Vale founded in 1841 ...
burial place of Bruce Ismay 1862-1937 Shipowner & Chairman of the White Star Line and director of the L.M.S."."10Publications - National Biography Series.
When he left Harrow he was tutored in France for a year before being apprenticed to Thomas Ismay's office for four years. He then went on a one year tour of the world and upon his return was posted to New York where he worked at the White Star Line office for a further year. At the end of that period he was appointed the company agent in New York. In 1891 Ismay and his family returned to England. That year he was made a partner in the firm of Ismay, Imrie and company. In 1899 Bruce became head of the business after the death of his father. Bruce Ismay led a thriving firm and displayed considerable business acumen, but in 1901 his firm was approached by American interests towards forming an international conglomerate of shipping companies. After lengthy negotiations Ismay agreed terms with J.P.Morgan under which the White Star Line would form part of the International Mercantile Marine Company. At that time the IMM was led by C.A Griscom, president of the American Line, but in 1904 Ismay succeeded Griscom and held the position of president until 1913 when Harold Sanderson took over. In addition to his interest in the company his father had created, Bruce Ismay was, during his life, also chairman of the Asiatic Steam Navigation Company, chairman of the Liverpool Steamship Owners Protection Association and the Liverpool and London War Risks Association as well as the Delta Insurance Company. He was also a director of the Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance Company, the Sea Insurance Company, the Birmingham Canal Navigation Company and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Of the latter he had been offered chairmanship but had declined. One summer evening in 1907 (the exact date is unknown), Bruce and Florence Ismay dined at Downshire house in Belgravia, the London home of Lord Pirrie. Pirrie was a partner in the firm of Harland & Wolff, Belfast shipbuilders with whom the Ismay's firm had enjoyed a long and lucrative history. Ismay and Pirrie were determined to formulate a response to the popularity of their nearest competitors latest ships. Cunard had introduced the Lusitania in 1907 followed shortly afterward by the Mauretania. These ships had been built with the help of a governemt subsidy and had set new standards in luxury at sea as well as being faster and larger than any that had gone before. Ismay and Pirrie decided that high speed, while desirable, was not the essential element in capturing the vital immigrant trade which was their main source of income at that time. They would concentrate on creating the largest ships to maximise steerage capacity while making them the most luxurious in first and second class accomodation in order to woo the wealthy and the prosperous middle class. Ismay accompanied his ships on their maiden voyages and the Titanic was no exception.
"Extracted from Dictionary of National Biography 1931-1940, eldest son of Thomas Heny Ismay, educated at Elstree and Harrow
On April 10th 1912 he boarded the Titanic with his valet Richard Fry and his secretary William Henry Harrison. While on board he was also assisted by Ernest Freeman who unlike the other employees was listed as a crew member. Ismay was rescued from the Titanic in Collapsible C. During his life Ismay would inaugurate the cadet ship Mersy for the training of officers for the merchant navy, gave 11,000 pounds to found a fund to benefit widows of lost seamen and in 1919 gave 25,000 pounds to establish a fund to recognise the contribution of merchantmen in the war. He divided his time between his homes in London and Ireland."11Directories - New York City - 1890.

"MARRIED IN EARLY DECEMBER
Wednesday 5 December 1888
A brilliant and fashionable assemblage gathered at noon yesterday in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth-avenue, to witness the marriage of Miss Florence Schieffelin, a daughter of George R. Schieffelin and a great favorite in New-York society, and Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, the Agent of the White Star Steamship Line. Mr. Schieffelin and his family are members of Grace Church, but selected the Church of the Heavenly Rest for the ceremony on account of its proximity to their residence on Forty-fifth-street. The Rev. Dr. Huntington of Grace Church, assisted by the Rev. D. Parker Morgan, the Rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, were the officiating clergymen. The bride wore a gown of white brocade richly trimmed with old point lace. A veil of old point also fell over her face, confined by a tiara of diamonds. A diamond pendant hanging from a necklace of pearls sparkled at her throat. She carried a large bouquet of lilies of the valley. Preceding her were the two little maids of honor, her sisters, Miss Sadie and Miss Constance Schieffelin, who wore white silk dresses, white hats, and carried baskets of pink roses. The ushers were Messrs. Bond Emerson, T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, Amory Sibley Carhart, Edward Perry, and Fleming Crooks of England. The groom's best man was Mr. Ernest Bliss. At the conclusion of the ceremony a wedding breakfast was given to the young couple and their intimate friends at the residence of the bride's father, 8 East Forty-fifth-street. Among those present were Mr. John Jay, Mrs. Ernest Crosby, Mr. and Mrs. James Beekman, Mr. and Mrs. William Rhinelander, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Rhinelander, Mr. and Mrs. William Schieffelin, The Misses Rhinelander, Miss Fannie Walker, the Misses Webb, Mrs. W.

"OBITUARY---MR. C. BOWER ISMAY
Monday 26 May 1924
Mr. Charles Bower Ismay, of Hazelbeech Hall, Northampton, who had been ill for some weeks, died yesterday morning. He was well known on the Turf, and was the owner of Craganour, which ran in the famous Derby of 1913. His grandfather, Joseph Ismay was a builder of small boats at Maryport, in Cumberland, and his father, Thomas Ismay, joining a firm of Liverpool shipowners, ultimately founded the White Star Line. He was born on January 24, 1874, the third son of T. H. Ismay, and first began to take an active interest in racing about the beginning of this century, and he ran a horse in the Grand National of 1905. His Bloodstone finished second to Jerry M. in 1912, and in Ally Sloper's year, Jacobus, his second string, came in second. With Balscadden Mr. Ismay won among other races the Grand Auteuil Hurdle Race, the Lancashire Steeplechase, the Prince Edward Handicap, and the Newbury Autumn Cup Twice, also the Welsh Grand National with Jacobus. But by far his most famous horse was Craganour, which as a colt he bought for 3,200 guineas from Sir Tatton Sykes. The horse won the New Stakes at Ascot and the Exeter Stakes at Newmarket, but was beaten at Goodwood by Rock Flint. That proved to be his only defeat as a two-year old, and he took the Prince of Wales' Plate at York, the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, and the Middle Park Plate at Newmarket, and became the winter favourite for the Derby. As a three-year old he began with a defeat at Liverpool, and finished second in the Two Thousand to Louvois. A fortnight later he easily beat Louvois in the Newmarket Stakes. As the Derby of 1913 drew near Craganour became a strong public favourite. There were two sensational incidents in the race, for not only was the King's horse, Anmer, brought down by a suffragist at Tattenham Corner and his jockey carried in bleeding and unconscious, but Craganour's number was hoisted as the winner, only to be followed by his disqualification, the race being awarded to Aboyeur. The Stewards, curiously enough, included the late Major Eustace Loder, who had bred the colt and sold him and his dam, Veneration II., half-sister to Pretty Polly, to the Sledmere stud. The disqualification aroused a vast amount of discussion, but none of the Stewards ever gave any explanation of the grounds on which the decision was arrived at. After the race Mr. Ismay accepted an offer of £30,000 from Señor Martinez de Hoz for Craganour, who went to the Argentine, where he did well as a sire. Mr. Ismay was fond of hunting, and was often seen with the Pytchley and Mr. Fernie's, as well as the Bedale and the Hurworth. He had also done a good deal of big game shooting, chiefly in East Africa and the Sudan. In the South African war he served as a trooper in the Northumberland Yeomanry. During the war he was attached to the 12th Lancers in France from January, 1915, to November, 1916, and was then transferred to the Remount service. He married in 1900 Matilda Constance, daughter of George R. Schieffelin, of New York; her elder sister had married his brother, Mr. J. B. Ismay, some 12 years before."4Census UK 1881 .
