SHE IS NOW MRS. JOSEPH DUNLOP.
Wilbur F. Storey’s Widow Quietly Married to the Managing Editor of the “Times.”
Mrs. Storey, widow of Wilbur F. Storey of the Times, was yesterday married to Joseph Dunlop, managing editor of that paper. The ceremony took place without notice to their friends. At 3 o’clock Mrs. Storey left her residence, No. 2011 Prairie avenue, apparently for an ordinary afternoon drive, and with ex-Senator and Mrs. Lyman Trumbull was driven to the home of Prof. Swing, where the ceremony was performed.
Mrs. Storey wore an imported traveling dress of soft heavy gray silk, with panels and trimmings of white broadcloth. A garniture of ostrich feathers bordered the hem of the skirt. The boots were of gray cloth with patent leather tips. The bonnet was small and of gray silk, velvet, and mousseline de soie.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunlop were driven to the Fort Wayne depot, where a special car awaited them. They will go to New York, thence to Block Island, Mass., and other summer re-sorts. Upon their return they will reside at No. 2011 Prairie avenue.
It is said that the engagement was of two weeks’ duration. Mr. Dunlop has quite recently acquired an interest in the Times.

Mrs. A. D. Lamb, at 2011 Prairie avenue, is living with his son, Benjamin B. Lamb. Their home is the old Wilbur F. Storey homestead, where Mrs. Story lived and where she died in 1896. Mrs. Storey’s sister was the wife of A. D. Lamb and their maiden name was Bissell, their brother having been an innkeeper here in the earlier days. He kept the old Matteson House at Dearborn and Randolph streets, where the Borden Block now stands. Mrs. Lamb died several years before her sister, Mrs. Wilbur F. Storey. In his more active days A. D. Lamb was a partner in the firm of Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. Afterwards he had some mining interests. The Storey home is of gray stone and stands closely wedged in between a brown stone house and a tall new brick residence, built in renaissance style.
