"Miss Harriet T. Mumford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Kimberly Mumford of Manhattan and Athens, N.Y., was married on Friday of last week in the chapel of St. Bartholomew's Church to Mr. George Sumner Small, 3d, a son of Mrs. George Sumner Small and a brother of Mrs. Hamilton Pell.
The bride was to have made her debut in the city next winter, and it was at first intended to have the wedding after that event, but Mr. Small, who is an efficiency engineer, was called upon to go to Ohio for a prolonged stay, and he and Miss Mumford decided to have the wedding immediately.
Their engagement was just announced in March. Only members of the two families were present at the ceremony, at which the Rev. Sidney N. Usher officiated. Mr. Small is a Polytechnic graduate and the family formerly lived on Sidney Place."
