ResearchIn the wedding announcement in the Chicago Times, he is described as being from New York (City?), and the couple are to live in New York. The bride's uncle is a Henry A Spaulding of Chicago and Paris, who is a world-class jeweller and hobnobber with princes. The Episcopal Bishop of Chicago celebrated the nuptials. There is great description of decorations and dresses, plus a long guest list. This is a social event.
Henrietta, or Maude as she liked to be called, was actually from a New York family, and had been living with her aunt and uncle -- in Paris and Chicago for a few years.
The presence of the Episc Bp of Chicago might suggest an association with The Rev Dr George H Houghton, Rector of the Church of the Transfiguration in NYC (the "Little Church around the Corner"). But the bridegroom almost certainly wasn't him. This sort-of posh cleric would have been already married and 70.3
