I am researching a female "ILse Hoffmann" who was a model and lover for the artist James Montgomery Flagg. She was married twice. The last marriage to "Vincent Callahan".
She is mentioned in Flagg's autobiography: "Roses and Buckshot", as well as Susan Meyer's 1974 biography of Flagg. She seperated from, but never divorced, Callahan.
She committed suicide 8/13/1942. Vincent P Callahan listed himself as a widower on
his enlistment papers in Oct 1942, two months have her death. His, Vincent P. Callahan, civilian occupation was listed as "Artist, scupltor, teacher of arts" and so it seems likely that Vincent P. Callahan was married to Ilse Hoffmann who played a major role in Flagg's life.
