In 1857 he took Tom Thumb and Cordelia Howard, famous as little Eva in Uncle Tom's cabin, to Europe, where these children appeared in humorous characters, creating a furore and gathering a golden harvest. In 1862 Mr. Barnum introduced the two sister midgets, Lavinia and Minnie Warren, to the public, the former of whom young Stratton married before the end of the year in Grace Church, New York. The public reception at the Metropolitan Hotel, immediately following, was a notable affair. After this, for week after week, the three tiny folks drew crowds of admirers at Barnum's old museum, the receipts sometimes being over $3,000 a day. Mr. and Mrs. Stratton had a pleasant home at Middleboro, where they spent a large part of their time when not on the stage. He died in Middleboro, Mass., July 15, 1883, and two years afterwards his widow married Count Primo Magri, an Italian dwarf.
