  The wedding of Eleanor Nash to Culver McWilliam as in April 1916. See NYT of April 5, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70F15FE3D5F13738... Eleanor Arnett Nash was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund A. Nash, who lived in Rye, NY. She was apparently an excellent golf player, as well as a tennis player.

  According to the NYT article her father was Edmund A. Nash, but The sun., April 02, 1916, THIRD SECTION, Image 22, col. 6 wrote that his name was Edmund S. (for Strudwick) Nash (chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030272/1916-04-02/ed-...), and she was obviously a sister of the poet Ogden Nash (www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/ogden-nash, see also The Life and Rhymes of Ogden Nash: A Biography by David Stuart, p. 21 & 22 (books.google.com/books?id=MWsYAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA22&lp...)

  Thanks swanq and B-59, I'll ask that we adjust the date range and remove the 's' from "McWilliams".
