Seņora Carmina Creagh Sickles
1840-1919
Daughter of Spanish Councilor of State, Chevalier de Creagh of Madrid

Married to Daniel E. Sickles in 1871.
Despite estrangements, remained married until his death in 1914.

Seņorita Creagh, as Maid of Honor to Queen Isabella of Spain - with whom it had been rumored that Sickles had a lengthy affair,
was introduced to U.S. Minister to Spain, Daniel E. Sickles at a Court function given by the Queen in 1871.
They married soon thereafter and gave all appearances of a happy relationship, until Sickles resigned his position in 1874 and returned to the U.S.
Mrs. Sickles declined to travel with him, and remained in Spain. Despite one brief time when she did live in the United States,
and despite having two children, George Stanton and Edna, Mr. and Mrs. Sickles lived most of their 40+ year marriage apart.
Carmina and son George lived in New York, close to Dan, near the end of his life.
