a large circle of friends are with the
bereaved relatives.
Mrs. Wamelink, who is among the
lost, was the widow of the late l.. B.
Wamelink, formerly a grocer of this
city. Mrs. w. resided on Lorain ST.,
West Side. Those among US who
We're in. Cleveland at the time New
ton kept the American House will
remember the deceased as the very
pretty Mary Otis, who was connected
with the House, and who by her
kindness and lady-like department
won the regard of all who knew her.
It was at the American Mr.. Wame-'
link saw her, fell in love with her
and married her. We believe she has
left no children,
% One f the saddest features of this
terrible accident was the loss of the
Misses Patchen, who had been visit
ing at the house of Mr.. Edwards, In
Cleveland, the eldest, Caroline, aged
about twenty-three, having been a
BRIDES M lid at the recent wedding of
Mr.. Cole and Miss Tiffany, They
were sisters, the youngest, Minnie,
just from boarding school, and not
over nineteen years OF age, daughters
of I. w. Patchen, Esq, prominent
banker of Troy, N. Y, and a former
resident of Buffalo. Young, beauti-
full and accomplished, scarcely three
hours from the last goodbye given
thapo hxy n air frinp1O .uIO 1.yore IOofb
to have them go, they met a watery
grave. The observed among host of
beauties at the wedding and reception,
and at the Gordon party only the
night before, to attend which they
prolonged their stay in Cleveland,
their young bright faces reflected the
ightness and gaiety OF their hearts,
entering into the enjoyments of the
evening with that zest and pleasure
that youth and beauty can only give.
This sad ending of so brilliant series
of festivities, has plunged the friends
of the young ladies in Cleveland in
the profoundest grief, and created the
deepest sensation among the young
society of Cleveland with whom they
were thrown, while the terrible news
as it flashed over the wires to the in
valid mother and devoted father, will
prove shock almost too great for hu-
man endurance. -+
