was Il cousin of President Arthur. She
graduated at Underwood college q year
or two ago with the first honors OF her
class, and at once embarked, with en-
thusiasm, in the field of home missions.
She went out to the Indian territory
| and worked as n missionary in the Choc-
taw nation. While there she met the
| groom-elect, DIR. Eliphalet Mott Wright,
the son OF the late Rev. DIR. Allen
| Wright, q Choctaw Indian, who filed
all the posts of honor his c%ountrymen
could offer. DR.. Allen Wright was gov
ernor for two terms of the Choctaw ma
ton, was u graduate of Union college,,
| Schenectady, N. Y, in 1852, and of the
Theological seminary in New York in
| 1885. He returned to his home in Indian
| territory and became n hard worker
