A beautiful, yet simple, home we'd
ding took place at $3.50 o'cock
last evening at the residence of DR..
and Mrs. G. C. Powell, on Davis street,
South Ottumwa, when their only
daughter, Alberta, became the wife of
DR.. Harvey Clay Head, of Willard,
Neb. The ceremony was spoken by
Rev. D. G. Smith, pastor of the Will
lard street M e. church, amid only
the relatives, intimate friends and
neighbors. The bride and groom were
unattended, not even the usual we'd
ding march marring the simplicity OF
the ceremony. The bride was radiant
in a handsome gown of white organ
die, and carried brides roses, these
flowers being also the only house deco
ration. Following the wedding service
and congratulations, a wedding sup
per was served, and the happy young
couple departed on the Burlington
train at 1870 this morning for their
future home in Willard.
The bride is one of Ottumwa's
fairest and most talented daughters,
young woman of charming personal
ity, who by her winning and unaffect-
ed manner, was long favorite in a
wide circle of friends. Reared and
educated in this city, she spent year
studying music in Chicago, and then
taught music for two terms in the
Brookfeld college, of Brookfield, Mo.
Upon resigning this position two
years ago, she again returned to Chi
cago, entering the American Conserva-
tory of Music, to continue her studies.
completing the course this summer
The possessor of wonderfully clear
and beautiful voice, highly cultivated,
of wide range, rare purity and sweet
ness, she has always been prominent
among the leading musical talent OF
aOttumwa. High praise has been
showered on the young bride, too, by
noted metropolitan musical critics up.
on some of her recent work in compo,
.sftion, and a volume of her songs, for
kindergarten, is to be published
shortly.
The groom, while stranger to OF
tumwa people, is young man of ex-
cellent family, and prominent in his
home town for his sterling worth and
many admirable traits of character
As a rising young physician of Mil
lard he has already won for himself
the highest esteem and a lucrative
practice.
Tho deep regret is felt at parting
with the charming bride, the best
wishes of countless friends will follow
the young couple to their western
home.
