Sheridan Sheridan captured.

Mrs. Irene Curtis-Rucker set her eyes on Phil Sheridan. And in due course her 19 year old daughter was seen regularly riding in an open carriage with the Civil War hero. It could have been a situation in which the parents, Daniel and Irene Rucker thought it best that the couple get married ASAP, as they were clearly enraptured. Sheridan's life, in the end, was a romance.
Halleck/Rucker/Sheridan, small world.
