Unfortunately, a long and happy marriage was not in the stars for the couple. They were only wed for four years, and two and half of those years Dora was separated from Clay. They still wrote loving letters back and forth to each other, Dora’s generally asking for money and Clay’s generally giving it and warning her against the “vendetta.”269 Finally, on September 10, 1898,270 the old general gave in to the inevitable and granted his young wife a divorce. Dora would later return to White Hall271 and serve as Clay’s housekeeper, while her new husband, Riley Brock, worked as a maintenance man for his wife’s former husband. The young couple even named their child after Cassius.272
