Daniel and Mary Whittlesey Kotz were married in a private ceremony at the home of the <br />father of the bride, J. W. Whittlesey on Niles avenue. Only the nearest of relatives of the <br />bride and one brother of the groom were in attendance. The happy couple immediately <br />afterwards took to a ten day sketching tour for their honeymoon to Sister Lakes, Michigan. <br />Soon afterwards they moved to New York. <br /> <br />Even though Mary Whittlesey came from money, that didn't stop Daniel Kotz from teaching <br />his wife the skill of masonry. Daniel instilled in his wife the spirit of hard work as they built <br />entirely thier own home in New York themselves out of stone. <br /> <br />Frequently Daniel Kotz would return to South Bend from New Jersey and go on sketching <br />trips. One such article places Daniel and a friend bringing camping gear and putting in the <br />boats near his father’s business. Passing what is now known as Howard Park, they camped <br />at what is now known as Pinhook Park. Here is the article. <br /> <br />South Bend Tribune 07-18-1884
