Frederick C. Haveneyer, who Ia q son OF
the late Theodore A. Havemeyer, and Mira.
lille Travers, widow Of William r. Travers,
we're married yesterday at the Church OF
the Holy lnnocents in West Thirty-sixth
street by the Rev. Father Michael c. O'Far-
rell, pastor OF the church.
Mr.. Havemeyer has been seen much In the
company of Mrs. Travers at Newport his
season. Mrs. Travers left Newport on
Thursday with a party that came here to
attend the funeral of Sir Roderick amer
on's daughter. Miss Isabelle d. Cameronj
at the Church Of the Incarnation. Mrs.
Travers did not return to Newport with the
rest of the party and on Friday Mr., Have
meyer Joined her here.
On Friday afternoon II. O. HavemeyerJ
Jr,, brother Of Frederick, received at New
port a telegram summoning him hither to
act as a witness at the latter's wedding.
Mr.. Havenleyer had been expecting such q
Mr.. Havemeyer and Mrs. Travers arrived
at the Church Of the Holy lnnocents shortly
before noon yesterday, accompanied by
Harry Havemeyer. Az Mrs. Travers is a
Presbyterian Father O'Farrell could not
/, perform the ceremony in the church, 30 he
led them to the parlors of the rectory and
married them there, From the church the
party went to the brides house at 2 East
Thirtieth street for luncheon. and then
Mr.. H%avemeyer and his bride went to her
house at Westbury, l.. l. They will spend
the honeymoon there and go to Newport
later. Letters were sent TO the relatives
yesterday morning telling them that the
marriage was to take place. and later In the
day kilograms were sent announcing that IL
had taken place.
The news of the wedding caused con-
siderable surprise both here and at New
port. Mrs. Travers went to Newport
early in the season and took quarters In q
fashionable boarding house on Catherine
street. Mr.. Havemeyer arrived a short
time afterward and went to the home OF
his sister, Mrs. Cameron MGR. Winslow.
Mrs. Havemeyer was Lille Hartman,
the youngest daughter OF the late
Oliver Hartman, and a sister Of the
present Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt. She
was married to her first husband seventeen
years ago in this city. There were no
children. Although there we're no outward
signs of any decided disagreement between
Mrs. Travers and her husband, there was
no particular surprise when, In 1908, she
left him and went abroad. From that
time until his death she did not see him
again. She spent most Of her time In France
until after she got a decree Of divorce from
him.
The papers In this case we're not made
public and the fact of a divorce was made
known only through the indirect announce
mcnt Of friends. just at what date It was
granted is uncertain, but presumably 1t
was just previous to July, 1905. when it
became known in Newport that the Travers
marriage had been formally dissolved.
The Traverses lived in New York at .
East Thirtieth street part Of the year.. They
had a cottage for the summer In Newport
and in the winter at Aiken, s. G. Mrs.
Travers was In Newport in 1904 while her
husband was abroad and while there she
had a Japanese tea house built on the Ocean
Drive, where she entertained. The spring
following the tea house was removed and a
bungalow put up, which was occupied by
Mr.. Travers. When he came back to this
country Mrs. Travers returned to France.
1t was on September 20 last year that
William r. Travers took his life, shoot-
ing himself through the head in his apart
ments at 1855 Madison avenue.
Mrs. Havemeyer has a fortune In her own
right. 1t was she who In 1894 chaperoned
Miss Alice Roosevelt at the winter opening
Of the opera.
Mr.. Havemeyer ia a graduate Of Yale;
class OF 1900. and since his graduation has
spent much of his time abroad, where he
was frequently seen with Mrs, Travefs.
He is an enthusiastic automobilist and fond
of all kinds of out Of door sports, being a
good polo player, golfer and tennis player.
He is one Of the heirs interested in the
Havemeyer estate in Newport, which is
taxed for $50. 900 and which last spring
was sold to Pembroke ZONES His sister,
Dora Havemeyer, married Commander Cam.
