From Somebleu Volunteer (#47462928):
Hiram Watson Sibley (Emily Sibley's brother) married Margaret Durbin Harper, the only daughter of Fletcher Harper Jr. of the Harper publishing house family, on February 7, 1873.
The groom's parents held a reception in their Rochester home for the couple on February 14, 1873, as reported in the Democrat and Chronicle the following day.
Hiram Sibley purchased the Silas O. Smith house at 485 East Avenue (also known as Woodside, until recently home to the Rochester Historical Society) and gave it to the couple as a wedding present. However, they preferred to live in New York City.
Hiram Sibley appears to have first considered letting the house be used by the Howland Female Seminary of Union Springs, NY, a Quaker-run institution that educated former slaves, and which was considering moving to Rochester. He later bought the seminary a different property on East avenue for the Howland School.
