    Arrives:

    Arrives:
    Eugene calls Paris his home for the next 9 years.

    "The Little Review" (Source includes letters to Jane Kemp and a few of Eugene's paintings published in this issue). Included an article about Eugene by Rene Crevel.

    Residence:
    Lafayette Hotel (University Place and 9th Street). He's with a James McCown (age 25, born in NY), relation listed as brother. Eugene has no brother.

    Arrives:
    I don't know exactly when he arrived in Belgium. The passenger list shows him arriving in New York from Belgium 27 Nov 1933.

    Died:

    Per my phone conversation with Jérome Kagan 03/03/2021: Eugene tried to commit suicide on March 20th, 1966 by ingesting a number of pills and alcohol. He was found on the floor the next day by a friend of his, Gabriel Oriol, who took him to the hospital. Eugene survived for one month before he ultimately died of pneumonia. Mr. Kagan received this information (and more) from a gentleman who knew Eugene. Additional information can be found in Mr Kagan's book: Eugene McCown: Démon des années folles.



    Buried:
    Eugene's place of burial has not yet been found. Eugene was destitute and starving at the time before his death. It's possible he was buried in Potter's Field in New York. Or maybe taken home to Missouri? We may never know.
