even without the family’s lat-

job so much harder. One senses a

relative and choosing instead
to pretend the problem away,

which Harry was later convicted
of first-degree assault.
For Mary Louise, protecting
the Flavel legacy didn’t just mean
defending Harry but also keeping
possession of her buildings —
the mansion, and two downtown
properties at Ninth and Commer-
cial streets. She may have felt
that to lose control of them would
amount to losing her family’s
roots in Astoria, Goodenberger
said. But she let the buildings de-
teriorate, and gradually sold them.
For all the privilege and stature
the Flavel name conferred upon
Mary Louise and Harry, it was a
mantle they could never get out

Mary Louise returned to Astoria
for one of her brother’s trials
almost 20 years ago.
“I’m walking down the street
with her, and people are coming
out and shaking her hand and
hugging her and welcoming her
back,” Goodenberger said.
He told her: “‘You see, Mary
Louise — you could come back
to this town and do something.
There are people who are willing
to move on.’”
The town had changed since
she’d left. Much of the old guard
who’d experienced her family’s
slights and scandals had relo-
cated or passed on. Enough new

from under, one that changed
during their lifetime from a bless-
ing to a burden.
The tragedy of Mary Louise’s
life is not merely what happened,
but what didn’t happen. Imagine
the missed opportunities — the
sharp intellect, profligate resourc-
es and entire decades misspent
as she worked to salvage her
brother’s reputation and, finally,
withdrew from her community.
Even after a dark, reclusive pe-
riod, her life could have ended on
a high note. She could even have
reclaimed some of the Flavels’
lost glory.

residents who didn’t know the
Flavels’ history had moved to
Astoria that she could feel safe
returning.
She could, Goodenberger
suggested, come home, fix up
her buildings, maybe rent an
apartment. She still had time to
re-enter Astoria’s arts community.
The door was open for her if she
wanted to walk through it.
But for Mary Louise, “moving
on” meant staying away from the
town in which her last name car-
ried a stigma. Given all she had to
live up to, it’s a small wonder she
failed to keep such a heavy name
afloat forever. CW
