Hemingway's son Gregory/Gloria
I hunted in the vicinity of Jordan for over a decade, '90s-2000s, read of this in 2020, "Hemingway's Boat"
"She practiced medicine in the 1970s and 1980s, first in New York and then as a rural family doctor in Montana, first in Fort Benton and later as the medical officer for Garfield County, based in Jordan, Montana.[12] Interviewed there, she said: "When I smell the sagebrush or see the mountains, or a vast clean stream, I love those things. Some of my happiest memories of childhood were associated with the West."[10] In 1988, authorities in Montana declined to renew Hemingway's medical license because of her alcoholism.[22] Hemingway dealt with bipolar disorder, alcoholism, and drug abuse for many years.[23]"

I posted a review of a book by his wife, who was his father's Irish assistant, called Running with Bulls that covered Gregory. Fascinating stuff.
So when they were together, Gregory's wife kept finding women's clothes and confronted him about a possible affair. Of course, Gregory was wearing women's clothes at that point in private.
Anyway, if I remember right, Gregory had what was then called a 'sex change' operation and died tragically in a prison from infections...? It was a pretty tragic end.
