of Miss Jennie May Walz to Mr.. l.. M.
Turner at Ell Paso Texas on last Satur-
day is taken from Ell Paso Times.
"a quiet but happy wedding was sol
emnized last evening at 8 o'clock, at the
residence of Rev. II. W. Moore, 907 North
Stanton street. The contracting parties
were Mr.. L. M. Turner and Miss Jennie
May Wall.
"This announcement will be a surprise
to many of the friends of the young
couple, as their wedding was fixed for
next month. But it was hurried on &C.
count of the departure next Tuesday OF
Harry Wall for the Philippines to join
his regiment, 18th cavalry. Mr.. Wal2
wanted to attend his sisters marriage.
and so it was solemnized last night, Rev.
H. w. Moore officiating. Mis- Leila
Trumble was bridesmaid and George
Flory was the groom's best man.
"Mr. Turner was for a short time, the
city editor of the Times, and this paper
feels a pardonable pride in seeing him
win such a charming prize for a consort
| through life. He is now book-keeper al
the State National bank, a position he
has held for the last eight years. Mr..
Turner is a most worthy young man and
| enjoys the confidence and esteem of the
| officials of the bank, and is a prime
favorite with all of his associates.
"The bride is the daughter OF W. G.
| Wall, IL of Ell Paso's most prominent
business men. She is pretty, accom-.
plished, and of a most lovable nature.
Her beauty, charming manner and
sparkling wit makes her q bright and
particular star in Ell Paso's galaxy Of
| society beauties. The fair bride com
| pleted her musical education in Europe,
"Those present at the wedding were
W. G.. Walz, the brides father, H. 5.
Wall her brother, DR.. Brady and mother,
| Mr.. and Mrs. J.. C. Lakeland, G. R.
Morehead, Mr.. and Mrs. G. E.. Kelly
Misses Irma and Bella Schultz, Miss
Maggie Lyon and a few other intimate
friends.
"Mr. Turner took his bride to the
home he recently had built especially
for her, on Mesa avenue"
The wedding was to have taken place
October 7th., but on account of the
| departure of the brides brother, Harry
G. Walz, for the Philippine Islands, the
marriage was hurried in order that he
might attend before leaving, and at his
special request.
This accounts for the absence from
the wedding of Mrs. w. G. Walz, who
with her three young children is visiting
Santa Catalina Island, Cal, and also fol
| the non-attendance of Hon. and Mrs. L,
B. Catron of this city, uncle and aunt OF
the bride.
1t will be remembered, that the bride
was brought up as a daughter in the
family of Hon. L. B. Catron, having
come to her aunt at the age of seven
years. She was educated with hel
cousins John W. and Charles G. Catron
and only removed to her fathers home
at Ell Paso on her return from Europe
last year, where she had been with Mrs.
Catron to complete her musical educa'
ton, Mrs. Catron having remained in
Berlin.
Thursday, September q, this week,
was a field day for Rev. Father Gay,
the retiring pastor of the church of the
Holy Faith in this city. Father Gay on
that day reached the ninetieth anniver-
sary of his birth. The reverend gentle
man had given, through the columns OF
the New Mexican, an invitation to his
friends to call upon him on that day,
and right pleasantly was it accepted.
First came a popular lady of the Pres
byterian congregation, having in her
hande a gold-headed cane which she
presented with the loving regards of the
pastor and members of that congrega-
ton.
Then arrived many gifts of fruits,
flowers and pictures. Some kind friend
who assisted in the reception attempt
ed to keep count of the number of hap
Ply callers from all ranks and creeds of
Santa FEES composite population, but
they came so thick and fast that the
count could not be kept.
The winding up of the reception was
most happy and fitting, for shortly be-
fore it's close a number of Santa FEES
business men arrived, and one Of their
number, Arthur Boyle, after suitable
preliminary remarks, presented to Mr..
Gay a well-filled envelope, which, as
was afterward ascertained, contained
ten $40 bills. The occasion closed with
many expressions of a hope that many
more anniversaries may be granted to
good old Father Gay.
