  Narrative

Hobart Chatfield-Taylor Engaged to Virginian
And from Purceville, Va., Mr. and Mrs. Moncure Nelson Lyon of Black Oak Ridge sent word of the engagement of their daughter, Mary Owen, to Hobart Chatfield-Taylor, son of the undersecretary of commerce, Wayne Chatfield Taylor, and Mrs Taylor of Washington, D.C. and Lake Forest. Miss Lyon was graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Noroton, Conn., and was introduced to society at the Bachelor's cotillion in Baltimore several seasons ago.

Mr. Taylor attended St. Mark's school and was graduated from Yale university, where he was a member of the Fence club. He now is in the USA Coast Guard reserve. The Taylors have two daughters, Adelaide, now Mrs. John Marshall Kernochan, and Rose, who is Mrs. Frank G. MacMurray. Both made Chicago debuts.

A socialite article in The Chicago Tribune, Oct. 18, 1942 about the family and the wedding.

We are having the presentment of a nice little season after all, and while debuts may be few. weddings still are with us. Hobie Chatfield Taylor‘s wedding card arrived last week. Wayne Taylor's only son has married a Virginia girl, Mary Owen Lyon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moncure N. Lyon at Burcellville, VA. The wedding was yesterday at Black Oak Ridge, the Lyon estate out of Washington. Hobie, who is named for his grandpa, Hobart Chatfield Chatfield-Taylor, once Chicago's great cotillion leader, is an officer in the coast guard reserve. Now that the three children of the family are married. Adele and Wayne Taylor have bought and settled at Washington in a nice white house in S street, a quite shallow, small house, attractive to behold. The family was at York House, at Yorktown. when I was in the capital last month, so I saw only the outside shell of their abode.
