McCormick graduated from Princeton University in 1895. Later that year on November 26 , he married Edith Rockefeller , daughter of Standard Oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller , in Chicago , Illinois . Later, Harold married opera singer Ganna Walska , whom he divorced in 1931. McCormick became Chairman Of The Board of International Harvester Company in 1935, replacing his older brother Cyrus McCormick, Jr. He was also a Trustee of the University Of Chicago . He resided at 1000 Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Orson Welles claimed that McCormick's lavish promotion of his second wife's opera career—despite her renown as a terrible singer—was a direct influence on the screenplay for Citizen Kane , wherein the titular character does much the same for his second wife. ( Samuel Insull , one of the founders of General Electric , built what is now the Lyric Opera in Chicago for his mistress and was another influence.)
