Ed Streeter (1891-1976) Father of the Bride (1949) Born: Buffalo, Erie, New York. Buried: Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, Erie, New York. College: Harvard.
There is a surprising paucity of biographical information about Ed Streeter on the web, to the extent that it is not immediately evident to the lazy researcher whether he was born in Buffalo or New York City. As a social note, Ed Streeter's great grand-daughter recently graced the New York Times Wedding Pages, her picture being attractive enough to me to pique my interest in her story before I realized her literary lineage. She is keeping up the Ivy League tradition in the family (Dartmouth; Edward Streeter was Harvard Class of 1914). I noted as well that she was in medical school, which I took to be also in keeping with the family tradition, as I had had the notion that Ed Streeter had been a doctor as well; however I was mistaken, he was a banker (and the young Sarah Streeter's father appears to have been in the financial line as well. I liked that all of the wedding guests received a copy of great-grandfather's famous (but not overly familiar) book.
