is limited. Two or more of the ex-Secretary’s four unmarried daughters
will be present. In May, 1845, Miss Clymer’s father was married in the
same house to her mother, Miss Shubrick. Miss Clymer is the only daughter
of the late Dr. George Clymer, for many years a Surgeon in the navy, the
granddaughter of Admiral Shubrick and the great-granddaughter of George Clymer,
who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, as well as one of
the framers of the Federal constitution. She was born in Washington 39
years ago. Her mother, with whom she lives, is the daughter of Admiral
Shubrick. She has no sisters and only one brother, Shubrick Clymer, who is
a professor of English literature at Harvard College. Miss Clymer is an
accomplished lady of literary tastes and has traveled considerably. In
company with her mother, she has taken a trip to Europe every two or three
years. Few ladies are better known in Washington society. She is
tall and somewhat slender, with light brown hair, and a face which would be
called interesting rather than handsome. Her disposition is amiable and
generous, and she will be great acquisition to the good people of Wilmington,
where she will live after her marriage with Mr. Bayard. Miss Clymer has
money and has devoted much of her income to charitable purposes in connection
with St. John’s Church, Washington, of which her grandfather,

the bride and groom were present, many of them coming from a long distance to
wish the young couple a happy and prosperous journey through life. And

After this followed a pleasant reception for the newly-married couple.
Scarcely had this ended when supper was announced and the guests seated
themselves to a bountiful repast--such as one as wedding guests can always do
justice to. After supper followed a general inspection of the presents,
which were numerous and both useful and ornamental. There was a general
spirit of good will throughout the evening, and the guests departed with thanks

Notices
Notice.--My husband, William Cummings, had no bed and board but little board for myself or family to eat, for he often told me he had rather put his money in the hotel for whisky than to buy food or clothing for us, and often threatened me with a revolver and knife, and then says I had no cause to leave him. Ida Cummings. Antrim, Pa., June 25, 1889. (Tuesday, June 25, 1889, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
