Agnes Demby Madden, who stunned Hot Springs in 1935 by marrying the wealthy, ex-convict owner of New York's Cotton Club, died Saturday. She was 90.
Madden's husband, Owen V. Madden, owned the Cotton Club during the 1920s and 1930s. Known as the Beer Baron of New York, Madden also owned a brewery in New York City during Prohibition and a fleet of ships to ferry liquor from abroad to the United States.
He died in Hot Springs in 1965 at age 73.
The daughter of the Hot Springs postmaster, she seemed an unlikely match for Owen V. Madden, who, in 1915, was convicted of the first-degree manslaughter of Patsy Doyle, a New York gangster.
The couple met in 1931 when Madden, a New York resident, was visiting Hot Springs. They married December 3, 1935.
She was a 1919 graduate of Hot Springs High School and was a member of the National Park Christian Church.
The couple did not have children.
A private funeral is scheduled at 2 p.m. Wednesday according to Hot Springs Funeral Home. [from the Sentinel-Record
