Of the Guy Brothers minstrel troupe, and
Miss Fife N. Plympton, handsome young

Guy and visited her here when the com

Guy and Miss Plympton met then, and the
acquaintance formed quickly was followed

and man OF independent fortune. He

will 90 with his wife next spring when the
seasons work is ended.
