Dr. Walter Engard Wentz Jr. married Elizabeth Hoopes Mackey on September 24, 1932 (See Chester Times, Sept. 26, 1932). She was born ca. 1909, and is probably the Baby Macky shown in Appleton photographs AP-5903 and AP-5904. For the grown-up Mrs. Wentz, see also P-12013.
About 1000 people visited Tyler Arboretum as a kind of pilgrimage to the home of Minshall Painter, one of the Borough's founders and the man who gave Media its name. This house is one of the newer structures on the property. Free bus rides to and from the arboretum were provided.
