A few years later, they moved to Lone Tree Farm, a 100 acre estate in St. Louis County adjacent to the St. Louis Country Club, where the family dog tormented golfers by retrieving balls from the green.
Mrs. Pulitzer was in New York City on a shopping trip when her car swerved and hit a post. She seemed uninjured except for small cuts, and slept in her hotel room that night but the next morning she went into the hospital. A small piece of glass from the shattered windshield had lodged in an artery and caused a fatal embolism.
