lands History.
The Woodland Democrat says, the
marriage Of Miss Marie Freeman and
Mr.. E. M. Armstrong is decidedly of
more local interest than any other So
cial event of the week.
Although both are regarded as resi-
dents Of Woodland, the solemnization
occurred in San Francisco on April
End. 1t was very quiet affair, wit
messed only by relatives. and Rev. D.
o. Kelly officiated. Indeed it was so
quiet that we have only such nforma-
ton as can be gathered from bare
announcement and all the details that
such interesting reading for intimate
friends and acquaintances are lacking.
Only very few close friends knew
of the long and romantic courtship and
engagement, of which this marriage
was the elimination. They guarded
their secret so carefully and perfected
their arrangements so quietly that this
announcement will no doubt be the
first intimation to many of their warm
est friends that they contemplated
anything so serious as matrimony,
The bride is the daughter Of Mr. and
Mrs. J. w. Freeman, who for many
years were leading and influential resi-
dents of Yolo county, and lived in an
elegant home in Woodland. Although
they still retain interests in Woodland.
have a home here and cons derable
property in the county. they are not SO
much identified with this community
as they were years ago. Mr.. Free
man has acquired fine stock ranch in
Nevada, the care and management of
which require most of his time. Mrs.
Freeman and her daughter have, Of
late years, divided their time between
the stock farm, Woodland and San
Francisco, and Mr.. Freeman makes
periodical visits to his old home.
The bride is a beauty of the blonde
type, and the beloved of a large circle
of friends who admire her gracious
manner. sweet disposition and charm
ing personality. She is inclined to
literary pursuits, and her bright and
intellectual mind is well stored and has
been admirably trained. After pursu-
ing her studies as far as possible in
tn, schools of Yolo county, she entered
Stanford university. from which she
graduated in 1896. Of late she has
been making special study Of litera-
ture with Professor Morrow. in San
Francisco, who has an exalted option
OF ner intellectual aDlllty.s
The groom is well-known and pop
ular young man who, while making his
home in Woodland, has been engaged
in mining for several years. Mr. and
Mrs. Armstrong are expected to visit
Woodland at an early day, when they
will receive warm welcome from
their many friends.
The bride is we'll known here and In
Churchill. She is charming young
woman and prize worth winning.
With many friends the DISPATCH
unites in wishing the happy couple all
tho joys Of long and prosperous we'd
ded life.
