Notable Congress members and their varied early lives
The Washington Post survey lists many senators and representatives with unusual beginnings and careers. It notes Calfornia miners, Fort Lafayette prisoners, merchant origins, beards, Quaker parents, tool company presidencies, LL.D. degrees, farming, banking clerks, professors, and crafts from printers to teachers. It also mentions births in Scotland and Canada, and a range of occupations before entering Congress.

Evening before last Justice Moses wedding scene
An account from the Virginia Enterprise describes a ceremony for a Justice Moses and a Chinese couple Ah Suce and Ah Moy. A joke about kissing the bride prompts a quick retort from the bride’s husband and the bride herself, who insults the assembled guests in a spirited display.
