    • After marrying Cincinnati businessman Frank Wiborg, Adaline would move first to that city, and then to New York. In New York, she and her husband maintained homes both in the city and on Long Island.

      CUSTOMS SEIZE TWENTY TRUNKS
      Undeclared Apparel Worth $5000, Property of Mrs Frank Wiborg, Detained
      From The Inquirer Bureau.
      NEW YORK, Sept. 11.--Customs inspectors seized today the contents of twenty trunks brought here from Europe last Friday on the steamer Mauretania by Mrs. Frank B. Wiborg, of Cincinnati, wife of the former Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and her three daughters, the Misses Sarah, Olga and M. Hoyt Wiborg. Most of the contents of the trunks was wearing apparel.
      The seizure of the trunks was decided upon after an investigation extending over several days. When Mrs. Wiborg and her daughters landed, the inspectors found mistakes in their declarations and, in searching their baggage, found articles which had not been declared at all. It was thought that the Wiborg's had merely forgotten to list all their foreign purchases and the trunks were sent to the appraisers' stores. There the inspectors found the original cost of the undeclared goods to be about $5000, duty on which would be about $3000.
      They so reported at a hearing today, and the case was placed in the hands of the United States District Attorney for further action.

      ——
      Mrs. Adeline Sherman Wiborg.
      [Jan. 3] Mrs. Adeline Sherman Wiborg, wife of Frank B. Wiborg of Cincinnati and New York, and a niece of General William T. Sherman, died yesterday at her home, 40 Fifth Avenue, following a stroke of paralysis several weeks ago. She was born in Des Moines, Iowa, the daughter of the late Major Hoyt Sherman and Sara Moulton. Mrs. Wiborg had been active in war relief work and recently returned from a trip to France in connection with the organizations in this city of which she was a member. Besides her husband, Mrs. Wiborg left three daughters, Mrs. Gerald C. Murphy, Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg, and Mrs. Sidney W. Fish.
