Marriage and Family
In 1894, Breasted married Frances Hart. Hart and her sisters were in Germany at the same time as Breasted, learning the German language and studying music. The couple honeymooned in Egypt. It was a working vacation as Breasted had been recruited to build a collection of Egyptian antiquities for the University of Chicago.
Hart died four decades later in 1934. Breasted married one of her sisters.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:
“We have seen that men are learning that work, productivity, and marriage may be very important parts of life, but they are not its whole cloth. The rest of the fabric is made of nurturing relationships, especially those with children—relationships which are intimate, trusting, humane, complex, and full of care.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
