The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-06-25
MARRIED..

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning, at the
residence OF A. e. Singleton, Esq. 93j
South Lawrence avenue, by Rev. George
K. Smith, pastor of Lincoln Street Presby-
terrain church, in the presence of small
company of relatives and intimate friends.
Mr.. Arthur j. Burroughs of Tacoma,
Wash, brother of Mrs. A. w. Sickner of
this city, and Miss Laura W. Singleton of
Wichita, only daughter of Captain John
II. Singleton, late of ST. Louis, for the last
three years resident of this city.
The occasion, though quiet, was one of
the most enjoyable it has ever been the
good fortune of the scribe to participate
in. That solemn pleasure for which
all such occasions are notable was
manifest on every face, and
smiling eyes, were oft difused with tears
bespeaking the love and near friendship in
which the contracting parties are held.
Promptly at the appointed hour the happy
couple marched INTO the parlor, preceded
by the Rev. Mr.. Smith, to the sublime
melody of a bridal march from Lohengrin
by Wagner, rendered by Professor A. w.
Sickner, in his most pleasing style-taking
their places in the bay window which was
tastefully decorated with rare plants and
drapery, prepared by loving hands and
friends most dear, where the sacred vows
were taken, which binds them as husband
and wife, ''till death doth part" The
ceremony including placing of the wedding
ring was very beautifully performed,
without flaw or incident to mar its COM
pleteness, after which heartfelt congratu-
tions were offered by all. and the senti-
ment, may the happiness you anticipate
be fully realized, was felt by all, if not ex-
pressed. Elegant refreshments were
served. while all joined in a social visit
and Interchange of hearty good viii, appre-
ciated, and long to be remembered by the
participants.
Mr.. and Mrs Burroughs left for st.
Louis via Missouri Pacific at 1880 p. m,
where they will make a short visit with
relative and friends and thence
they will go TO their future
home in Tacoma, Washington, where the
groom is well and fayorably known as one
of the most estimable of young men,
being prominently identified with the Y.
NJ. G. A. work there.
Thus Wichita looses one of her fairest
and most honored daughters; one whom
to know is but to love, and her friends can
only assure her of lasting remembrance,
and with moist eyes bid these two. now
made one, bon voyage, and wish for them
a happy. prosperous life.
Miss Burroughs will be sadly missed by
Mr. and Mrs. Singleton and family with
whom she has made her home and to whom
she is strongly attached by ties

and stronger as time rolled on. In that
home there will be one vacant chair to
ever remind them of Laura" The
Lincoln street church Sabbath school
and Y p. S G. E, looses one of their
strongest supporters and most valuable
aids, as teacher of the infant class especial |
ly her place will be hard to fill. But who
can tell of the ''aching void" in the heart
of that father who has been wont to lean
upon that young life in these declining |
and lonely years for sympathy and loving |
care, which dutiful and devoted only |
daughter alone can give, 1t is beyond |
our skill to illustrate, and must be left to |
the hearts of those who have experienced |
a like event in their own lives, who alone |
can fully sympathize.
Numerous appropriate presents were
presented by the friends. Among those
present were noticed Mr.. and Mrs. George |
Miller, Professor and Mrs. A. w. Sickner
and family, Mr., and Mrs G. L. Wheeler,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Walden, Mrs. n. B.
Hogin, Mrs. c.. Z. Andrews, Misses Lottie
Butler, Alice Munsell, Ledeson Munsell,
Joe Ferguson, Florence Fuller, Anna
Winder, Messrs. Cal Winder, Fred Poor
