Dear Stephen: Since this message may be of interest to members of the Whitney Research Group, I have sent a copy to the membership. ----- Original Message on Sept. 4, 2000 from Stephen McDonald mcshaw@dstream.ne ----- >While visiting New England I purchased a framed magazine cover with a woman named Pauline Whitney. The publication was called "Once A Week" and is dated 1895. It is a women in her teens probably. Could you give me some info on her? Thank You Stephen McDonald mcshaw@dstream.ne< Stephen: This Pauline Whitney was more than likely the daughter of William Collins Whitney and Flora Payne. She was born 21 Mar 1874 and married in 1895 in New York City Lord Queensborough Almeric Paget (b. England). Her father, The Honorable William Collins Whitney, was the Secretary of the Navy in 1895. Thus her marriage would have been "newsworthy" in 1895.
