Laura Mae Corrigan
Laura Mae Corrigan (2 January 1879 – 22 January 1948) was a wealthy American socialite.[1][2][3]
Ulf Aschan wrote, in reference to her impact on the British East Africa community in Babati, "Famous for her wealth-which was derived from her husband's steel mills-and her lavish entertainment in a bid to ensnare the rich and titled, Laura also looked after her poorer, albeit titled, friends to uphold standards at all costs."[4]
