    Marriage Announcement:
    One of the most beautiful weddings of the season occurred at Holy Trinity Church on Tuesday, the 18th instant, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the contracting parties being Mr. Edward Duffy, of the Baltimore bar, a son of the late Judge Duffy, and Miss Chloe Tyler Sams. The ceremony was performed by Dr. J. Julius Sams, the father of the bride, who has been for twenty years the pastor of the church. The building was elaborately decorated with palms and white carnations, and during the entrance and exit of the bridal party the wedding marches from Mendelssohn and Lohengrin were played by the organist of the afternoon choir. State's Attorney Henry Duffy, a brother of the groom, acted as his best man on the occasion, the ushers being Ralph Duffy (another brother), Charles Rich, Arthur Cole and Frank Powell. The bride, who wore a mousselaine de soie over white taffeta and carried Bride roses and white carnations, entered the church leaning upon the arm of her brother, Hon. Conway Whittle Sams. Her little niece, Chloe Tyler Cooke, of Richmond, Virginia, who performed the part of maid of honor, and was clad in mousselaine de soie over white taffeta, carryinh a bouquet of pink roses and carnations in her hand, also accompanied her to the altar. Among those who witnessed the ceremony were Mrs. Edward Duffy and Misses Blanche, Maude and Grace Duffy, the mother and sisters of the groom, and Mr. and Mrs. Addison Cooke and Master Conway Whittle Cooke, of Richmond.

    Miss Sams is a granddaughter of the late Conway Whittle, a wealthy and influential citizen of Norfolk, Virginia, and a great-granddaughter of Chancellor Tyler, of Williamsburg, a cousin of Ex-President Tyler. Her brother, Hon. Conway Whittle Sams, a well-known member of the Baltimore bar, is an ex-member of the Maryland State Legislature, and is consul general of the League of American Wheelmen.

    Notes:

    From Gracey Flynn, 2014:

    There is not much I can say about this cousin, I was quite young when he would come see his father. As a teenager he lost an eye in a BB accident and had a glass eye. I remember looking for Easter eggs and reaching up to get one off the window sill and screaming because it was his eye in my hand instead. He was quite comfortable with taking his eye out and putting it in the glass you were drinking out of. He was a very tall man; I remember him sitting in my mother's 68 camaro and having to push the seat all the way back and still having to tip his head almost to his waist to fit in the car.
