During Grover Cleveland’s pyrotech- nic political career, beginning with the shrievalty of Erie county and culmina- ting with his defeat for the Presidency in 1888, he, like other prominent men, has been burdened with a double. In the usual run of doubles the coming man’s counterpart usually remains in the background until his duplicate in feature, form and physique ,begins to soar in the political or social realms of popularity and greatness, and then does the double announce himself in person, by letter or through the medi- um ot the newspapers. Grover Cleveland’s double is ex-May- or Greene Kendrick of Waterbury and he has been in a peck of trouble in a marital way ever since. Kendrick was Mayor of Waterbury at the same peri- od that Cleveland was chief magistrate of Buffalo, but the Mayor of the lively Connecticut town was not aware of his likeness to Grover until the latter per- sonage had greatness thrust upon him by his nomination for Governor. Then Cleveland’s pictures were scattered . broadcast, and one fell into the hands of Kendrick. He was positively appal. led at the striking resemblance between himself and the gubernatorial nominee, and forthwith hastened to a photogra- pher and had his own picture taken. ,He then framed both photographs and offered aprize to any one who could tell which was the Mayor of Buffalo and which the Mayor of Waterbury. Some who have known Kendrick for a long time are now cruel enough to say that while he looks a trifle like the ex-Presi- dent when both likenesses are placed side by side, the likenesses would not be taken for twins. Immediately after Cleveland’s elec- tion as Governor Kendrick penned a lengthy epistle to the newly elected Executive, congratulating him on his success and incidsiltally remarking that he was a perfect image of Cleve- land. The latter, in response, wished him much joy on his resemblance, add- ing that he would be pleased to see Waterbury’s Mayor ; but Kendrick was too busy, and sent his photograph. The distinction of closely resembling an ex-President did not prevent Ken- drick from gaining unenviable notori- ety. which began soon after his mar- riage to Miss Nash, a beautiful and most estimable Norwalk girl. He lived with his wife but a short time when she applied for a divorce and was granted a decree. Nothing daunted Kendrick advertised for another wife, stating that she must not be over 23 years of age. Miss Sarah Cresson Of Philadel- phia replied to the personal notice. The pair met, and against her father’s wishes Miss Cresson wedded the ex- Mayor on December 2, 1889. Mr. Cres- son is said to be a wealthy merchant in the Quaker City. Kendrick and his second wife appar- ently enjoyed each other’s society for a year, when Cleveland’s double became enamored,as charged by this wife with the wife of Merchant Pierson,of Water- bury. Mrs. Kendrick NO. 2, unexpt ct- edly heard of her husband’s liason at an afternoon tea, and rushed home to find her husband quietly reading a novel. The scene that followed was stormy in the extreme. The wife then left her husband, went to New York, and through Lawyers Campbell and Murphy sued Kendrick for absolute di- vorce. The case came up in the Su- preme Court April 16, and yesterday the telegraph announced that Mrs. Kendrick No. 2 was granted an abso- lute divorce. SO Waterbury’s ex-mayor is in shape to advertise for another wife.Who says advertising doesn’t pay? -... Norwalk Antiquities. The Arnold cabinet, now owned by the city of London and of which the DAILY GAZETTE has already told of its Norwalk origin, and the Ben. Franklin story with many other old time remin- iscences, are awakeinng a very decided interest in many other facts and legends of ye olden time, as connected with this ancient town. President George R. Cowles gives us another version of the Ben. Franklin oil story, given us by Dr. McLean,and published last Monday, and we shall take an early opportunity to publish that. No town is richer in ancient historical and biographical interest than ours. One of Norwalk’s early settlers donated the glass to the first Yale colle e building erected at Saybrook, whi e the father of Henry Caner, the earliest rector of St. Paul s church, built the first. Yale college building and the president’s house, after the removal of that institution from Saybrook to New Haven. lit- tle later on, Rev. Dr. Buckingham, long the pastor of Norwalk’s Congre- gational church and from whom the name “Buckm ham” now so honora- bly perpetuate by at least one promi- nent family here, is derived was in’the first graduating class of Y9. e. A vol- unie of such exceedingly interest' ' historical facts and incidents, could an should be written, to perpetuate to the coming generations, the rich and rare heritage the dwellers in this God-beau- tlfied town enloy; DIED.
