Andrew Carnegie’s Niece Married Poor
But Honest Riding Master.
It became known at New York Wed¬
nesday that Andrew Carnegie’s niece,
Nancy, was s'ecretly married about
a year ago to a riding master named
Heaver, whom she met at Newport.
The story was confirmed by Mr. Car¬
negie.
“My niece was married to Mr. Heav¬
er in New York about a year ago.”
he said. "Mr. Heaver was a riding
teacher in the family. The family
has no objection to the match. Mr.
Heaver is an honest, upright young
man. I would rather Nancy had mar¬
ried a poor, honest man than a worth¬
less duke. We want no rich men in
the family.” Mr. Carnegie said Mr.
and Mrs. Heaver went to Europe im¬
mediately after their marriage. They
returned a few days ago, and are now
on a visit to New England.
Mr. Heaver was formerly coach¬
man for bis wife's mother, Mrs. Thom¬
as M. Carnegie, in Pittsburg, and at
her winter home In Fernandina, Fla.
He was a widower with two chil¬
dren.
