Biographical Information:

"George Sumner Small 3d, son of Mrs. George Sumner Small Jr. and the late George Sumner Small Jr., who was one of the best liked men of his day, is engaged to Miss Harriet Mumford, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Klmberly Mumford. Miss Mumford's father made a reputation for himself some years ago as the great American authority on Oriental rugs and wrote a book on rugs that had a wide vogue and was wonderfully illustrated in color. The Smalls now make their home at 137 East Seventy-third street, Manhattan. They originally resided on Grand avenue, Brooklyn, and afterward on the Heights."

"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."
