Claim: Emily McGary Selinger was compelled by illness to go north, she married Jean Paul Selinger and corresponded for the Boston Transcript which was founded in  Massachusetts.
Evidence: Ill-health compelled her to go north, and she returned to Providence, where she opened a studio. In Providence, on October 9, 1882, she married Jean Paul Selinger (1850–1909), the artist. From 1882 to 1885, they traveled in Europe, studying in Italy, and while abroad Mrs. Selinger corresponded for the Boston Transcript. The Transcript was founded in 1830 by Henry Dutton and James Wentworth of the firm of Dutton and Wentworth, who were, at that time, the official state printers of Massachusetts. The Boston Evening Transcript was a daily afternoon newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts, published from July 24, 1830, to April 30, 1941.
