Philanthropist and Socialite. Born Julia Hunt Catlin, she was the wife of prominent businessman and attorney Trenor L. Park, who died in 1906. In 1911 she married C. Mitchell Depew (1867-1927), a nephew of US Senator Chauncey M. Depew. They divorced in 1916. The same year she married General Emile Adolphe Taufflieb (1857-1938), who commanded the French Army's 37th Army Corps during World War I and later served in the French Senate.
At the start of World War I she converted her chateau into a hospital, the first for Allies so near the front. After advancing Germans marching towards Paris in late 1914 neared the site, she departed for England, returning to France to resume operation of the hospital as the Germans retreated. As a result of her example, several other well to do Americans also opened hospitals in France, immeasurably aiding the Allied war effort. In 1917 she received France's highest military award, the Légion d'honneur, to recognize her wartime contributions, and is the first American woman known to have received it.
