Attorney John T. McCurdy Home
With an Ohio Bride.

Married, at the home Of the bride in
jackson, Ohio, on Tuesday, John T.
McCurdy of Corunna. and Miss Kate,
youngest daughter of James Chestnut,
Rev. w. d. Cherington of Chillocothe,
Ohio, district superintendent and a
cousin of the bride officiating, in the
presence of large assemblage of rela.
tives and friends. Following the cere-
mony, Mr.. and Mrs. McCurdy left for
Columbus, Ohio, where q reception
was rendered them in the evening.
They arrived in Corunua, Thursday.
Mrs. McCuIdy is a daughter of a
retired banker, and comes of a family
which is related to many of prominent
social and political families of Ohio.
U. s. Senator Joseph B. Foraker is her
uncle; and the Taft brothers were
represented by gifts or in person at the
ceremony.
Mrs. McCurdy has a remarkable
musical talent. With her sister, Miss
Jeanette, she has collaborated in a
comic opera, "Polaxis," which has been
promised production on Broadway by
Klaw & Erlanger, the famous New
York impresarios. Mrs. McCurdy
wrote the score, her sister the libretto.
Curiously enough the former cannot
read note of music. She plays the
airs which occur to her in the presence
of a musical stenographer, who tran
scribes them as they are sounded.
Mvsical critics who have heard the
opera predict for it a brilliant success.
Mrs. McCurdy will be decided

bar, and has amassed fortune and
made reputation as a clever and
aggressive lawyer
Though Corunna has always been his
home, practically, for the past two
years his residence here has been closed
for long intervals, while he travelled
extensively After returning from the
honeymoon trip he expects to engage
actively in the practice of law again,
and will open an Office either in Owosso
or Corunna.
