 SPEAKING WITH THE VOICES OF OTHERS
Julia Ward=s decision to marry Samuel Gridley Howe in 1843 was the culmination of a process of development that began with her first visits to Boston; he was far from what her family had assumed would be her marital destiny.
Julia Ward had just turned 22 in the summer of 1841 when Longfellow and Sumner drove her, her sisters, and Mary Ward out to the Perkins Institution in South Boston.
As Howe=s relationship with Julia Ward began to deepen, Sumner exhibited a series of telling responses to the situation, ranging from various subtle articulations of hostility toward Julia to a scheme to marry Julia=s sister Louisa to melodramatic lamentations over Howe=s impending desertion.

The French army despatched to Naples under the leadership of the Duke of Guise was out-manoeuvred completely by the Spanish Viceroy, the Duke of Alva, who followed up his success by invading the Papal States and compelling the Pope to sue for peace (1556).
Owing to the disturbed condition of Europe and the attitude of the Emperor and the King of Spain, it would have been impossible for the Pope even had he been anxious to do so to re-convoke the council.
The committee had the advantage of having before them the papers of the Italian scientist, Lilius, and the suggestions of the Catholic universities.

 Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Gay Parents and the Religious Right
In Florida in 1995, Judge Joseph Tarbuck ordered that Mary Ward's 11 year old daughter be taken out of her mother's custody and given to her father, based solely on the mother's lesbianism (as is normal in such cases, there was no evidence at all that Ward was a bad mother).
The appeals court upheld this decision in October of 1996; Mary Ward died of a heart attack in January 1997.
The trial court ruled that while there was evidence of "occasional excessive disciplinary measures" by the father, this was not sufficent under Alabama law to warrant reopening the custody question.
