A QUIET WEDDING.
Mr.. Fred rsorey and Mrs. J, e. Mad
den United in Marriage.

AS the clock struck 7:3O Tuesday
morning, Rev. Father Goepfert, pastor
of ST. Peters church. in his usual in
structive and impressive style, solemn
ly pronounced the words that made
Mr.. Fred Morey and Mrs. Jennie E.
Madden, one. The wedding, out OF
respect for the wishes of both bride
and groom, was a very quiet affair, on
| ly a very few of the brides nearest rel
1 atives being present; but had the ap-
preaching event been given to publici-
ty, ST. Peters sacred edifce would
have been crowded to overlooking with
the contracting parties numerous
friends, to offer them their congratula-
tions and blessings.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Morey gave a recep-
ton to their friends at the Opera Hall
Tuesday evening, large number
availing themselves of the opportunity
to extend to them personally, their re-
CARDS and best wishes for a long and
happy life.
Both the parties are SO we'll known
to the people of Eagle River that an
extended write-up would be almost out
of place here, but in accordance with
custom we deem it our duty to say a
| few words in praise of them. The
groom has been identified with the
growth and PROCESS of Eagle River,
politically and financially, for a num-
Der of years. He has, during his resi-
dence here, been the associate and
partner of Mr.. A. Mckenzie in the
banking business, and, in the perform
ance and transactions of the duties of
that institution he has, by his straight
forward and business-like manner, won
for himself the esteem and friendship
OF the businessmen of the city with
whom he has had dealings. Socially,
he has stayed in the background. He
is of quiet, retiring disposition and
has.never taken any great part in any
81 The social doings of the city; but
when he could be induced to join the
social parties he has always '<been a
welcome guest, and had he SO desired,
he could have been leader in the So
ciety here. Three years ago he con-
sented to allow the use of his name for
town treasurer. He was elected by
good; safe majority and has twice been
reelected to the same Office, last spring
having clear field, no one caring to
enter the contest against him. Mr..
Morey has been actively engaged in
placing the name Eagle River conspic-
uously before the people in the outside
cities as the finest place for summer
resorting in the Northwest. He went
at this in the same business-like way
as in all his other undertakings and
has made a grand success of it. He
purchased large tract of land on one
of the romantic spots of our beautiful
lakes and built large summer hotel
thereon. During the past season the
house has had a good patronage and
another season bids fair to outrival any
institution of the kind on these north
ern waters.
The bride is what might well be
called business-woman. She has
been identified with the business in
terests of this city for long time. OPP
ening up millinery store here a few
years ago she gradually added to her
stock until she now carries one of the
largest and best assorted stocks of mill
linery, notions, dry goods and ladies'
furnishings of any house in the city.
She is of quiet and refined DISPOSE
tion; devout Christian, being mem
Der of ST. Peters church, and is al
ways among the foremost in all church
work. Mrs. Morey isa sister of Mrs.
S. w. Smith, wife of the proprietor of
the Denton House, w. J. Walsh, one
of our enterprising merchants, Jas. A.
Walsh, principal of the Eagle River
high school and T. B. Walsh, formerly
of this city, but now one of the leading
young lawyers of Bayfield, county, be-
ing located at Iron River.
Although we received neither cards
nor cake, we gladly join their count
less friends in extending to them our
congratulations; and will only add, may
the Lord bless them through all time
and eternity and shower upon them his
greatest gifts.
