to Miss Folsom was June ?, 1885, at
few minutes after z o'clock in the even
ing. The bride was the daughter of
Oscar Folsom of Buffalo. who was kill
ed in 1875 by being thrown from a car
rage. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Folsom
were partners in the practice Of law,
and the man who was to become presi-

The spring of 1885, soon after Mr..
Cleveland became president. Miss Fol-

suited. Again, in the fail of the year,
Miss Folsom and her mother paid a
visit to the White House. and at that
time the month of the wedding was
fixed. 1t was to be in the June fellow
ing. but no day was named. Miss Fol
som later went abroad to secure her
rousseau and it was not until her re-
turn from Europe, May 27 that it was
decided that the ceremony should be the
following Wednesday.
According to the desire of both Mr..
Cleveland and Miss Folsom that the
ceremony should be private and not
ostentatiOus, the adornment Of the
building for the wedding was less
elaborate than it had been on many
other occasions.
