TOM THUMB (Charles Sherwood Stratton)
(from Biography of General Tom Thumb athttp://www.shortsupport.org/cgi/whowho_bio.cgi?seq=1&orderby=height&direction=ASC
Charles Sherwood Stratton (Tom Thumb) was born Jan. 4, 1838, in Bridgeport, Conn., to Sherwood Edward Stratton,
a carpenter, and his wife, Cynthia. The parents, "normal" sized adults reportedly were embarrassed that their son
was a dwarf. In 1842, P. T. Barnum discovered Charles, who measured 25 inches and weighed 15 pounds, only six
pounds more than his birth weight. Barnum touted the child as an 11-year-old European marvel and taught him
to sing, dance, mime and act. During their dealings together, they traveled around the world and met various
leaders and royalty, including President Abraham Lincoln and Britain's Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren were married Feb. 10, 1863, in New York City's Grace Episcopal Church.
The newlyweds stood atop a grand piano to receive 2,000 guests. Tom Thumb died of a stroke on July 15, 1883.
is funeral was attended by more than 10,000 people. Lavinia remarried on April 6, 1885, to an Italian dwarf,
Count Primo Magri. She died Nov. 25, 1919.
Phineas Taylor BARNUM was born July 5, 1810 in Bethel, Connecticut and died April 7, 1891 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
In partnership with James A. BAILEY, he made the American circus a popular and gigantic spectacle, the so-called "Greatest Show on Earth.
