CFH-Gic-Ba. Elizabeth Foster, b. July 1, 1905 (Max Foster 7, Leila Love 6, Martha 5, Isaac 4, Benj.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). m. Apr. 4, 1924, Lloyd O. Vernon Mann, at New York City. Res. Oyster Bay, L.I., New York.
Children: IX.4456. Marianna Mann, b. May 1, 1930. IX.4457. Nancy " b. Jan. 17, 1932.
CFH-HAC-Aa. Grace Sarah Tryon Maltby, b. Jan. 3, 1876 (Theodore 7, Geo. W.6, Augustus 5, Stephen 4, Benj.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). m. ca. 1907, Edward J. Daniels, of East Orange, New Jersey. He was an Importer, and later they went to reside in Rotterdam, and at the Hague, Holland, where her mother visited them several times. During these trips they toured Germany and Switzerland. Mr. Daniels by his first wife had a daughter nicknamed "Tyke." Her marriage is of interest as she was married "by glove." She was to be married in Jarva and for weeks took a recognized course in various household things which girls going out to Jarva should know.
This "marriage by glove" is in reality half the marriage, insuring that the husband-to-be will complete the ceremony. A man friend takes his place at the church, and the "marriage by glove" is performed.
Grace Maltby, from childhood was an accomplished pianist, and could execute the most brilliant passages. In Holland she continued her studies--a finishing course, with the best Master known. She died fairly suddenly, in Holland about 1932(?).
Child: IX.4458. Hortense Maltby Daniels, b. 1917, East Orange, New Jersey.
A large photograph is before me of Hortense--a beautiful child, wearing a frock fit for a princess.
A post-card photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, taken at Jacksonville, Florida, shows them in fishing kit, with a string of 27 Kingfish they had caught. It is dated Apr. 4, 1912. "One of the fish weighed 16 pounds and put up a big fight."
Hortense Daniels managed to get out of Holland at the last moment and went to England. Later she returned to the States and went to live with her cousin, Edith Maltby (Greene) Jobes. Following the death of my Aunt Emmie, I was unable to get any word from these cousins.
CFH-HAC-Ab. Edith Rebecca Maltby, b. June 13, 1878 (Theodore 7, Geo.W.6, Augustus 5, Stephen 4, Benj.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). m. Jan. 24, 1901, Harris Ray Greene, Yale, 1906, m. by Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes. In Nov. 1901, she gave birth to twin daughters. The one who breathed at birth, died, and the twin that was not breathing survived. It cost the mother her life.
Child: IX.4459. Edith Maltby Greene, b. Nov. 1901.
(From her wedding account)
"The bride, who is a charming brunette, walked slowly up the aisle leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She was most tastefully gowned in a white accordion pleated crepe de chine over white taffeta. The bodice was appliqued with lace. She carried an enormous bridal bouquet of lillies of the valley and her veil was caught up with orange blossoms which were worn by her mother at the latter's wedding.
The maid of honor, Miss Grace Tryon Maltby, a sister, of the bride, looked stunning in a gown of white svele crepe trimmed with blue panne, the bodice of the gown being covered with an exquisite lace bolero. In her hair she wore a wreath of pink roses tied with a black velvet bow, as did all of the bridesmaids."
The bridesmaids were Miss Maude Townshend Maltby, Miss Dorothy Lord Maltby, Miss Eleanor Pierson Alling and Miss Helen Davenport Benedict, cousins of the bride, gowned alike in blue crepe de chine over taffeta, and carrying pink roses.
The best man was William Sayre Woodhull, classmate of the bridegroom, and member of the Yale track team while in college."
