Asylum Hill Congregational Church Holds Informal Reception for Howard Arnold Walter

The article identified Edith Ney as “Mrs. W. P. Conkin,” but this would have been a typo.

The Asylum Hill Congregational Church Men’s Club included a reception for Howard Walter at its meeting on May 9, 1916.

Walter would give the Easter sermon at Asylum Hill Congregational Church on April 8, 1917.

“There were appropriate decorations.”

1. The article identified the four married hosts of the reception by their husband’s names:

• Juliana Denniston Deyo was married to John Brownlee Voorhees
• Harriet Ingersoll was married to Russell Jones
• Jane Mallory was married to Merwin Gray
• Edith Ney was married to William P. Conklin

2. Marguerite Darlington, who was married to Howard Arnold Walter, was identified only as “his wife.”
3. Susan Twichell, Joseph Hopkins Twichell’s daughter, was unmarried and, consequently, the only woman identified in her own name.
