Cincinnati’s Helena Zimmerman: The “Real” Downton Abbey Heiress?

From:  Cincinnati Magazine

COMMENT - Wow.  Now we see how early bigamy, infidelity, profligacy and other nasty habits started in the Montagu family.  Thank goodness Alex's sibs and kids are different.

You have heard the story: A Cincinnati heiress marries into a noble but cash-strapped British family.
Fans of the PBS Masterpiece Classic television series Downton Abbey will recognize the marriage at the center of the saga. Cincinnati heiress Cora Levinson (Elizabeth McGovern) married Robert Crawley, the 7th Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), to resolve his family's financial problems.
But Downton Abbey fans may not know that a story identical to this unfolded in Cincinnati in 1900. A British lord really did marry a Cincinnati heiress to resolve his family's financial problems. From there, however, reality intervened.
The Duke of Manchester and his Cincinnati heiress (note the money bag next to Cupid) as published by The Cincinnati Enquirer 10 August 1900.

The heiress in question was Helena Zimmerman, born in 1878 to Cincinnati railroad magnate Eugene Zimmerman and his wife, Marietta Evans. Helena's father, Eugene Zimmerman, was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where his father owned a factory. He was orphaned at 13, and came to Ohio to attend Kenyon College. When the Civil War broke out, the factory Eugene inherited from his father was burned down. Now penniless, Eugene enlisted in the Union Navy. He served with distinction, and was promoted often. He left the service as a 20-year-old lieutenant. By investing wisely, Eugene acquired extensive holdings in oil, which he sold to John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, gaining a substantial block of stock and a seat on the company's board. He then plowed his profits into a number of successful railroads. At the time of his daughter's marriage, he was worth an estimated $10 million. (With inflation, that would be about $280 million today.) The Zimmerman mansion still sits at the southeast corner of Auburn and McMillan.

Helena was Eugene and Marietta's only child. The couple married in 1876. Helena was born in 1878 and was only four years old when her mother died of peritonitis in 1882. Helena was sent to France for her education and lived there for many years, becoming proficient in fencing and horsemanship. By 1900, she was described as "one of the most beautiful young women" in the summer resort at Narragansett, Rhode Island. According to The Cincinnati Enquirer [23 July 1900]:  MORE

PsychoBusters, The Movie - Opening Scene

Will it be a movie - or a mini-series?  Time will tell, but we are telling all.  PsychoBusters, The Movie 
The Melinda and Wendy 


The black Bentley Limo rolled up to the curb at St. James Episcopal Church after circling the block. Inside, the jump seat emptied as Lady Wendy, Viscountess Mandeville, stepped out of the car wearing a deep blue dress, banded in narrow white accents at the neckline and sleeves.

People were quietly filing into the church. Lady Wendy paused, taking in the sense of mourning.

Next out of the Bentley was her husband, Lord Alexander, Viscount Mandeville, followed by Michael Jackson.

Lady Wendy later had a hard time remembering who else she saw. From the time she had heard Princess Diana had died of her injuries she had been caught up in shock. The things which stayed with her were the vivid moments which resonated with her own sense of loss and shock.

On the way home from a friends she had seen automobiles stopped at the side of the road. One driver's head was down on her steering wheel, crying. Walking into her home, next to the 405 Freeway in Costa Mesa, a 900 square foot, two bedroom condo, with one tiny bath, she felt numb. She had never met Diana, never imagined she would – but knowing she was in the world had become a bright place on her horizon.

As the week unfolded Wendy followed every piece of news.

When Diana had married in 1981 it had seemed like a fairy tale, a girl finding true love, something Wendy had also, like so many girls, begun to dream of. As her own life had moved forward Wendy had also understood the shocks Diana had endured as her marriage unraveled into something very different.

Staying up through the night of the funeral service, tears streaming down her face, Wendy had grieved with most of the world for the People's Princess, as her husband, Lord Alex snored beside her, just as he had when she woke him to tell him Diana had died of her injuries on August 31st.

When Alex called Wendy at work with the news there would be a memorial service in Los Angeles, several days later, had seemed like a chance for closure, to say goodby. Calling her at work was something Alex did not seem to be able to help doing. Not working himself, he was a stay-at-home mom to their son, Alex, Jr.

Wendy's job as a receptionist at a prestigious law firm provided a sanctuary from a marriage which had rapidly devolved into a nightmare. The job also keep the rent paid, when Alex actually decided to write a check. Wendy enjoyed her time at the office, where life was more normal, she had been there since she was 20 years old.

As Alex told her about the service Wendy felt slightly giddy. Marriage to an English peer had been starkly without any of the accoutrements of glamor or privilege before. They could barely afford their small condo and the bills were never really entirely paid.

To somehow be closer to the woman who had inspired her, and so many people around the world, this would be worth remembering.

Alex had called to tell her, as he often did, he was going to see a 'business associate,' who did detailing on high end cars near Beverly Hills. Wendy no longer wanted to know what kind of 'business' Alex was into anymore. Too much water under that bridge. Just a few weeks before Alex, Jr. was born in 1993 Alex had called to tell her he was, 'alright.' and the accident was not his fault. As it turned out, it was his fault. He had totaled her last car, a modest but sturdy Nissan, which she had proudly bought new. Alex used her insurance money to put a down payment on the Jaguar he wanted. She had to dig into her 401K to prevent it from being repossessed, soon after the baby was born.

But when the phone rang a couple of hours later in her word day his voice was filled with real excitement.

Wendy! You are not going to believe this. My friend Mark at the detailing shop, has talked to Michael Jackson and he wants to come with us to the Memorial Service, and bring Elizabeth Taylor.”

The next days were chaos. Liz had not been able to make it, but Michael had met them at the detailing shop so they could drive, together, to St. John's for the service. Later, a letter of apology, and flowers arrived from Ms. Burton. Wendy, as was their practice, wrote the thank you note for Alex to send.

It was as if she had entered another world. Listening to the service, Michael Jackson sitting beside her, seemed unreal at first. Then, the words of the hymn brought back the enormity of Diana's death and the reality of her own very different life. She tried to stop the tears but they began to well up in her eyes. She felt as a shock of understanding and comfort, Michael's touch as, sensing her pain, he put his arm around her back and gave her a warm and gentle hug.

After the memorial ended, the minister leaned in, speaking briefly to Michael. They were to leave out of the rear of the church. The media had been notified of his presence.

Walking out into a blaze of cameras Wendy felt like the proverbial deer in the headlights.

Then, they were walking into the suite at the Hyatt Alex had managed to get by telling the management, yet again, he was the Ambassador for the Royal Family. Briefly, Wendy cringed. She knew well he had never met any one of them.

The next two hours were magic, as Michael played hide and seek with Little Alex as his father filmed and made comments.

From some deep place within her Wendy knew why it was important to Michael to be at the service, as it was for her. Diana represented a way out of the quagmire which was life for so many, no matter how poor, or how privileged. 


This is a story which will take you through the full spectrum of emotions.

The GHC Surface

The mish-mash below is, doubtless, a response to my last post, PsychoBusting for Freedom, on the direction we are now taking on the issue of psychopathy. Please re-read this.

I went to the trouble of responding to this inane offering because it illustrates the fact the GHC cannot understand the difference between their assaults on the English language, entirely absent any of the evidence demanded, and believe their unsupported assertions to be sufficient. They have, however, generously provided more evidence of slander and libel, now in the hands of counsel.

    1).When did Craig franklin get taken in to jail for being a pedifile or childmolestor?  Where is the court evidence of Craigs supposed BS and slander you post about Craig Franklin everyday!
    MELINDA - This one will be responded to with a major article titled, “The Strategies of Sexual Deviants and Psychopaths,” it was already in production as part of the screen play. Our PR agency in New York will put it out. Craig provides an excellent example of deviant behavior allied with long term planning to achieve his goal, raping a little girl who trusts and loves him. Normal men do not read Incest Porn. Normal men also do not attempt to obtain unsupervised visitation with a grand-daughter, ignoring their grand-son, while the children's father is facing charges of having hired a hit man to kill the children's mother. Craig's son, Jonathan Scott Franklin is now serving time in prison in California for this offense. See Article.

    2).  Where is Melinda pillsbury fosters  HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA?
    MELINDA - Morgan and Laura have their panties in the wringer on this because neither of them ever graduated from high school. My diploma is in a file, where it will stay since a high school diploma proves nothing, in any case. I was, however, reminded that, as class agent for my year at St. Stephen's in Rome, I must busy myself to remind my fellow classmates to send in their Notes for the yearly newsletter by April.

    3). Where is the 60 hours of michael jackson DVD YOU AND RAYLAN EDITED ( This will be a real challenge!!)   Because the DVD is only 40 minutes!   WE WANT TO SEE THE DVD YOU EDITED AND THE RECEIPTS FOR WHAT YOU CLAIM YOU BOTH BAUGHT? 
    MELINDA - I edited no film, being focused on producing the sales material. Emails exist to document this. Raye has them, as she did the work. I have conveyed your demand to her, though she has provided these to you in the past.
    How long it takes to edit a film is not directly related to the length of the finished film, however. While most features are only 90 minutes, rest assured, editing takes far longer even when the film is professional quality, which this film was most assuredly not. The unedited film can be viewed here, where it has been in public view since Uploaded on Sep 18, 2009 , and therefore not protected by copyright.
    To have lied about the potential of legally selling rights to the film constitutes fraud against myself, Raye Allen, and any and all potential buyers and is being reported to the authorities. The film was stolen from Wendy Buford Montagu, who was, is, and remains, its sole owner.

    4). What is your tax ID number the Duke donated his computers he need to write them off. 

    MELINDA - The three 'donated' computers were worthless, costing Raye to transport and then to have repaired, which proved to be impossible. Thus they represented another fraud, which she overlooked knowing she could not squeeze blood out of the Rock of the Manchesters. Raye has the records and will respond on her own behalf. 

    WENDY - That’s right, I thought it was funny that Alex needs your tax id or whatever so he can report his donation for TAX PURPOSES!!!  He doesn’t file taxes!! Why would he??? He doesn’t work! He doesn’t claim what he gets from the trust, never did! That’s just crap.

    5).  How did MELINDA DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY BLIND AS SHE TELLS THE WORLD!  how was it driving blind across the country??  With your disabled son and two cats how dangerous!! 


    MELINDA – Very slowly, driving only during daylight hours when it was safe. I have never said I was unlicensed to drive. I have no cat. Arthur has one cat, Meow. The reader should Notice the level of empathy expressed here by this nasty little psychopath for two close relatives she knows perfectly well are disabled.
    Notice the empathy and concern shown for myself and my son by GHC for a drive which I probably should not have attempted. Pillsbury-Foster Medical Letters,

    6) MELINDA IF AS YOU CLAIM you went to OHIO to help raylan get better than why is raylan SICK AND SO IS HER DOGS! AND HER BUSINESS IS FAILING....
    MELINDA - Raye's business is not failing. Her dogs are her little surrogate children and she clucks a lot. Her health is much improved this last year, thank goodness.
    Raye assisted the Manchesters financially for quite some time and this is documented. No person with a conscience would have either written this or contributed to it.

    7).  Where are raylans friends and family LEE SMITH, AMANDA SMITH, AND THE BABY AND THE REST OF THE CLAN THAT HELPED RAYLAN MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY?
    AFTER MELINDA KICKED THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE AND TOOK OVER THE UPSTAIRS WHERE DI THE GUY WHO LIVED UPSTAIRS GO TO? 
    MELINDA – Melinda did not kick anyone out. They were gone when she arrived. Raye can explain her reasons more completely, and I'm sure she will be delighted to post the records, along with police reports, and other evidence, as it has certainly been compiled during her attempts to recover her stolen property.
    Raye asked me to tell you she is going to produce comprehensive documentation and renew her attempts for collection. Just so the Smiths know.

    8).  THE LEIN ON YOUR CAR AND CABIN HOW IS THAT GOING?
    MELINDA – And this is your business – why? My debts were caused by the GHC, with the intention of killing me, to which facts Morgan has testified under penalty of perjury.

  1. 9). Are you going to pay back the 80,000 and climbing to GEORGETTA BROWNS FAMILY?
    MELINDA – Yes, they are on my list. It is a thorough list, which I will not publish as it includes many people who have helped me who would not like to be attacked for assisting me. There is a second list as well. That list includes people who assisted the GHC. They will also receive some more focused attention soon.

    10). WHAT happened to poor dear Marcus SCRIVEN!  Was HE Not writing a book about you now? LOL


    MELINDA – Why would Marcus write a book about me? I never said he intended to or considered this a possibility. He has discussed such a book with Wendy, however.

    11). Melinda still popping vicodin and drinking wine!!!   AND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BUYING POT FOR AURTHUR AND YOU GOT BUSTED!  OR DID YOU BLAME IT ON AURTHUR!   STILL BUYING AURTHUR MY BROTHER POT SO HES STONED ALL THE TIME!   SO YOU CAN STEAL HIS MONEY AND GO TO PALITES CLASSES!  DOES MY VROTHER HAVE ANY FRIENDS BESIDES YOU......and MELINDA your incest!!    the word has got around now with many people melinda pillsbury foster sleeping with her sons! 
    MELINDA – Slander and libel, such as that appearing above, will placed in the hands of a competent attorney soon. I had a prescription for Vicodin in 1998, which I did not use because it made taking care of Arthur impossible. 
    Arthur can, and will speak for himself. He participates in our church choir, classes, and today pursues a vibrant relationship with God and our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    12).ARE YOU STILL BLIND??   or just blind ans stupid?  how do you write all these stalking blogs and your so BLIND?    does the stste know you do all these BLOGS! BLIND LADY??   the state need to know in OHIO and CALIFORNIA...


    MELINDA - Yet another example of slander and libel. They are annoyed I have managed to fight back, aren't they. Smile.

    13). Do you still talk to ROBERT t fanning the RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR he had melinda state escorted out of the state of MONTANA!!   All for publication!!!!
    MELINDA – It was kind of me to point out the individual under discussion was not the governor of Montana but a candidate for the office. On my way to Ohio, to assist Raye, who was in bad health and being taken advantage of by the individuals you have now publicly named, I stopped for a few days in Montana at the request of Robert Fanning.
    I had provided, entirely gratis, campaign materials for Bob, who had appeared on my radio show Reclaim America, on November 1, 2012. Correspondence and work provides gratis. Having finished the article I had also agreed to write for my paper, the Lone Star Iconoclast, I left. Here is the article. 
     
    We did discuss the possibility of my working for him as a campaign manager. If your slanders and libels resulted in this not happening you have provided proof of tortuous interference with my work and are thus open to charges both criminal and civil. I have not discussed this with Fanning as I have been busy with your ugly behavior in other areas.

    14). The duke has thousands of hours of tape on MELINDA PILLSBURY FOSTER so do many other people!  COMING SOON TO A blog all about the melinda!  you knew you were being recorded so its legal!!   POSTING your tapes are illegal PEOPLE HAVE TO AGREE TO BE TAPED!! 
    MELINDA – A complete fantasy. He has no tapes, no permission was ever given or asked.
    Messages left on answering machines are not protected, as the individual leaving the message knows perfectly well they are being tapes. Duhhh. Here are the audios and transcripts.
    Since our conversations were entirely composed of listening to Alex talk about himself as I took notes and struggled to keep him on the point, one shudders to imagine having to listen to them yet again. Curious how the GHC bounce back and for the between, “we only talked to her a few times and thousands of hours of tape,” however. Reality is tough for psychopaths.

    15).  PLEASED DO TELL WHY YOU POSTED THE DUKES CHILDRENS BIRTH CERTIFICATES?? ON THE INTERNET........child protective services is writeing a letter for your court apperance!!!   you have many coming up this year melinda pillsbury!!
    MELINDA – And why did you have them up? If there was sensitive information, which there is not, you would be guilty of whatever form of abuse you have so vociferously accused myself and Wendy of having committed. Additionally, Alex is not the custodial parent and neither of the children are willing to have contact with him – or Laura.
    See - Judgement for Reserved Issues - Montagu v Montagu, Case No. 06D010327, Honorable Judge Mark S. Millard, Presiding - Reporter's Transcript of Judge's Ruling   Transcript documents physical custody residing with mother and the evasive actions taken by Montagu to evade revealing his financial status during divorce.  


    16).  THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT but all we really want to see the 60 hours of MICHAEL JACSON DVD THAT YOU EDITED!!!   PLEASE ALL THAT WORK AND YOU CANT SHOW US??

MELINDA – You are repeating yourselves, yet again. Raye returned the originals to Alex, at his request and at her own expense. The materials she, herself, produced are work product for which she was not paid. Additionally, the work was carried out under the belief she would receive an agreed percentage upon sale and this could not legally take place for the following reasons. This was also a fraud for which the Rock of Manchester will most likely not be charged as he is entirely without funds and squeezing harder would only cost Raye yet more money.

As stated previously, the materials are not under copyright, having been previously published on You Tube.

The films are the sole property of Wendy Buford Montagu, who received them as her only gift on the occasion of her 10th Anniversary. Gifts are sole property of the recipient. That Alex admits to having stolen them simply proves the crime which he committed.

Update on Post Ayn Pillsbury Declaration


The idea behind PsychoBusting is to provide a through line for information making it impossible for the psychopathic to continue their predatory behavior.  This depends on making evidence available, which comes in all kinds. Just the Evidence was started to fulfill this need. 

Since it is annoying to remember where I parked documents I'm putting all those relating to the events chronicled on the five sites linked to Just the Evidence, plus more I could not decide where to put. 

 Fortuitously, it is now possible to provide this on a blogger website.  I just love technology.
