He is a lawyer and has spent much of his time in Europe, following his graduation from Cornell University. The fact that he visited Russia three times led to his appointment as Consul.

Miss Carman is a sister of Mr. Howard Carman, a resident of this village for the past year in the employ of Mr. J. H. Swezey.
