"Divorced Artist Is Wed Again In Media-Everett Shinn Takes Brooklyn Girl for Second Wife-He Was Divorced Only a Few Days Ago From His First Wife, Florence Scoville Shinn-He Is Well Known In Woodstown, His Native Place -- Everett Shinn, formerly of Woodstown, now a society painter of New York, whose hobby is writing studio party plays and acting in them, was married in Media, PA, Saturdat monring March 22, 1913, to Miss Corinne Baldwin, of Brooklyn, NY. Mr. Shinn was divorced twelve days ago from Florence Scoville, a clever illustrator, to whom he was married in Philadelphia in 1898.
The atmosphere of secrecy which surrounded the planning and performance of the ceremony was dissipated Saturday by a report which came from New York to the effect that the pair were to be married at the ancestra home of Marshall T. Davidson, Miss Baldwin's grandfather, in Media. Friends of Mr. Shinn soon discovered that though the house, if it exists, had been the scene of no wedding, the little town had. And when Justice of the Peace Williamson had been assured that Mr. Shinn himself, just before the wedding breakfast at the Bellevue Stratford, Philadelphia, had "confessed", he admitted having performed the ceremony.
With a gay party of relatives the bride and groom came over from New York on Friday night and took up quarters at the Bellevue Stratford. Breakfasting late Saturday morning, they boarded automobiles for Media. The witnesses to the ceremony were Miss Katherine Baldwin, a sister of the bride; Ethel Baldwin, a cousin; Arthur Hopkins, Harold Shinn, a brother of the groom; Marshall Baldwin, a brother of the bride; Vida Buckland and Wilfred Buckland, all of New York City and Brooklyn, and John S. Miller, of Philadelphia.
After their marriage in Philadelphia in 1898, the artist and the former Mrs. Shinn occupied a snug studio at 112 Waverly Place, New York, where many satirical little plays, the result of the collaboration of husband and wife, were produced before audiences of friends.
A college courtship had preceded their marriage. Shinn had studied at the Drexel Institute. He became a newspaper and magazine illustrator of skill and then devoted himself to mural fresco work. Mrs. Shinn became known as the illustrator of "Mrs. Wiggs" and "Lovely Mary".
Burlesquing lurid melodramas became their hobby. "Wronged From the Start" made such a hit among their friends that they wrote "Lucy Weston", or "More Sinned Against Than Usual", which has proved a success in vaudeville. Mr. and Mrs. Shinn acted in their company during a brief tour. The pair producted also a 12-act drama in four acts called "The Prune Hater's Daughter".
Among the mural decorations work of Mr. Shinn are the pictures in the aldermanic chamber of the municipal building at Trenton, and the decorations in the Belasco Theatre, New York.
Last year the pair became estranged, and the divorce granted to Mrs. Florence Scoville Shinn a few days again by Justice Gerard, of the Supreme Court of New York, resulted. Shinn was ordered to pay her $4800 a year alimony. The testimony at the hearings before a referee showed that a young and beautiful actress, whose name was withheld, had brought about the rift between them."
Everett & wife Corinne issued 2 children:
-Jeanette "Janet" Shinn (1916-1993); m. John Joseph Flemming
-Davidson Fairchild Shinn (1917-1991); m. Margaret nee Humphrey

"Success of Shinn Brothers, Two Former Woodstown Boys Now With Hearst --
Two Woodstown boys, brothers, started out to achieve success, both in the field of art, but in an entirely different manner. Everett Shinn, well known as an artist, who by his illustrations in magazines and by intramural paintings in the interiors of great theatres and private dwellings, became numbered with the twelve leading illustrators a dozen years past. Recently William Randolph Hearst, the owner of the Cosmopolitan Moving Pictures, Inc., has conferred on Everett Shinn, the art directorship of that company.
Harold C. Shinn entered the publishing business and creditably assisted the art editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. Recently W. R. Hearst called him to the Art Editorship of the "Motor" Magazine, the widely known automobile publication.
Neither boy on leaving home knew the business route each would cover, but step by step, here a little, there a little, finally achieved marked successes.
