Margaret Bechstein Hays
Following the disaster, she cared for two small children known as the "Titanic Orphans" in her New York City home until their mother claimed them.Gilbert Tucker, a young bachelor Hays had met in Europe and who was enamoured of her, cut his visit short to join her on the Titanic."[10] She had the help of the Children's Aid Society in caring for the boys[10] until their mother, Marcelle Navratil, came from Nice, France, to claim them.Nevertheless, Hays went on to marry a Rhode Island physician, Charles Daniel Easton, in 1913[3] and they had two daughters.[6] Margaret Bechstein Hays was not, as has sometimes been claimed,[14] related to victim Charles Melville Hays, an American railroad executive traveling first class on the Titanic with his wife Clara and their adult daughter Orian (both of whom survived) and son-in-law (who perished).
