Wilder (MARSHALL PINCKNEY an American)

MARSHALL PINCKNEY, an American humorist; born in Geneva, N. Y., Sept. 19 19, 1859; received a fair education, and became a stenographer.

He soon, however, developed a remarkable ability as a humorist, which was rendered all the more attractive by his diminutive stature; and for several years he was a popular entertainer, especially in private drawing-room gatherings both in the United States and England. He was the author of "People I've Smiled With." He died in 1915.
