[S24] article, New York Times, New York, NY, 23 Mar 1911. p. 9. Miss Metta Miller Weds. Gen. Miller's Daughter married to J. C. Rochester, Revolutionary Figure. The wedding of Miss Metta S. Miller, daughter of Gen. Charles Miller of Franklin, Penn., and John C. Rochester of Yonkers took place at noon yesterday in the state apartment at the Waldorf-Astoria. The ceremony, which was witnessed only by members of the two families, was performed by the Rev. Dr. Arthur H. Judge, rector of St. Matthew's Church in West Eighty-fourth Street. A wedding breakfast was given afterward by Gen. and Mrs. Miller in their apartments at the hotel. The bride was an honor graduate at Ogontz College, near Philadelphia two years ago, and is a lover of outdoor sports, particularly sailing. It was during a sailing trip that she first met Mr. Rochester, who, although only 27 years old, has made two trips around the world in a sailing vessel, and about eight years ago, as Captain and part owner of the schooners Fortuna and Intrepid, which traded through the West Indies and along the Spanish main, he figured in some of the revolutionary troubles of South and Central America. Recently he was in command of the ship on which Gen. [Rafael] Reyes of Columbia set out to capture Bluefields [1909], but which attempt was abandoned after the party sent ashore had been made prisoners. For this young Rochester incurred the enmity of President [José Santos] Zelaya of Nicaragua, and he was afterward attacked by Selaya's soldiers who clubbed him with their bayonets and put him in prison, but he escaped. Last May he gave up the sea and is now one of the Superintendents of the Federal Sugar Refinery at Yonkers. He is the son of the late Dr. Thomas Moore Rochester of Brooklyn, who was a lineal descendant of Col. Nathaniel Rochester, for whom the City of Rochester, N.Y. was named.
