At the d. 8. church LII 1hnradav
evening, Septemhar i 16o2 The vurds
were spoken that made Grant Harshall
and Miss julia Cortzieht husband and
wife. The ceremony beautiful and I'M
pressive, was performed BY Rev. Christian,
Dean Of the Borth-west conyocation Of
the diocese of Kansas, according to tho
ritual OF the Episcopal church. in the
presence Of q very large assemblage Of
Of the friends and neighhors OF the con-
freezing parties.
Tho choir consisting OF Mrs. Hin P.
Wilson. MIa Ed. Rea, Pierce Metz and
D. w. Matthews. with Mrs. N w. Shuler
at the organ, executed q beautiful selec-
ton during which the bridal party pre-
ceded by Louis Gleason and George
Baker. ushers. entered and passing down
the isle took their places under beauti-
full arch Of evergreens and flowers, sus-
pended from which was 'true lovers
knot. composed OF rarely beautiful
flowers Of most exquisite design and
workmanship. The decorations Of plants
and flowers we're most profuse and lovely.
The bridal dress was made OF hand
some cream white Faile; silk which
combines the beautiful, heavy cord OF
the Ottoman, the sheen and luster of
satin and the soft, clinging effect OF
lansdowne. It was made princess shape
with the regulation court. The front was
cut with basque effect and laced with
white silk cord. The sleeves were half
length puffs finished with ruff1es OF white
chiffon embroidery; cascade Of the
chiffon was caught in place by corsage
boquet OF lovely yellowroses. A boquet
Of the same flowers, tied with loops Of
ribbon, was carried by the bride. The
bridal vail of white silk illusion was held
in place by pearl pins. The groom wore
the conventional black.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
organist played beautiful march and
the bride and groom passed out of the
church, preceded by the Misses Bertha
Cortright and Bertha Marshall, sisters of
the bride and groom respectively, who
strewed flowers in their pathway. This
was On innovation, one of the most pleas
ing features, and mathematical, we trust, Of
their journey through life together over q
pathway strewn with flowers, with cloud
less skies overhead.
The reception at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Baker
was very largely attended. Everybody,
almost, from the city was present. and
great many friends from the country be-
sides. A larger crowd, perhaps, was
never gathered together under one roof,
in private residence, in Wa-Keeney.
After congratulations and view of the
wedding presents. which were certainly
very beautiful and some Of them quite
costly, the evening was spent in visiting
and conversation. If happy, radiant
faces were any index we can truthfully
say that pleasure and good will reigned
supreme Refreshments were served
about nine o'clock and We will be par
doned for saying that this particular
feature of the occasion was an entire sue
cess.
The bride is the daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. O. A. Cortright, of this city, and
has grown from childhood in Trego
county, is most estimable young lady
and highly esteemed by all who know
her. Her friends are legion and all sim
cerely wish for her life of unalloyed
bliss. If, according to a prevalent super
stition, existing in the minds OF some that
marriage is lottery, Mr.. Marshall has
indeed drawn one of the lucky numbers.
We have been intimately acquainted
with the groom for number OF years
and speak from personal knowledge when
We say that we but voice the sentiment
of the entire community in declaring
Suhb u0 ~ Ouc VI tu0 AnSot hO0Oio
manly young men that we have ever
met. As business man in our city, he |
has acquired the condolences OF all. We
don't believe that he has single enemy
III our city. Even the children, who are
infallibie guides, and whose instincts are
unerring in these matters, think that |
Grant Marshall ia one Of the nOhlest men
that ever lived. We know not how to
make our sentiments more emphatic and
we take much pleasure at this time, and
on this particular occasion, to thus give
expression to a universal feeling.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall will spend few
days in visiting relatives and friends and
will then take their departure for south
ern California. The good will of all win
60 with them to their far away home, to-
gether with best wishes for their future
