enough to hold seventy bodies.
The officers of the cemetery associa-

new move and work will be commence
ed upon the very desirable improve
ment at once.
In addition to the crypt there will
be chapel Of sufficient dimensions
to Accommodate mourners in Indictment

The crypt is especially desirable in
the winter time, when it is very diff
cult to dig graves and when the gener-
al aspect of nature is repelling and
forbidding. There is something that
grips the heart of the relatives and
friends when the bodies Of the dear
one are laid to rest in stormy and
zero-cold weather in the winter
months. With the crypt in which to
temporarily place the bodies of the
dead interment can be postponed un-

Rich Cedar Falls Merchant Mar
RES President seerley's
Servant Girl
SOCIETY MUCH SURPRISED
Bankers Daughter Was Supposed to

Merchant Took the Hired Girl =
Maybe the Bankers Daughter
Changed Her Mind.

GpSCldl W
Cedar Falls, Aug. 4.-Cedar Falls is
just recovering from Il sensation that
Wednesday night when Henry Mazanti
we'll known and wealthy merchant.
of Cedar Falls, took to wife Mary
Hansen,i who for the past few years
has been a servant in the home of
President H. H. Seerley, of the normal
school. His marriage with the daugh-
ter of Cedar Falls banker had been
expected and the substitution of sweet
hearts is causing the minds of many
to wonder why.
The Seerleys left for their summer
home at Ironeton, Mich, at the close
of the summer school two weeks ago.
Miss Hansen was left in change of the
presidential mansion to manage the
affairs of those of the household that
remained. She told her mistress noth-
ing of any contemplated change in
condition, but yesterday she sent 4
telegram announcing that she would
henceforth be mistress of a mansion
of her own.
Mr.. Mazanti is beyond the fifty mark.
He came to Cedar Falls in 1888 and be-
gan work for Henry Johnson. After
a few years he bought out his employer
and has branched out in several lines
of business until he has standing in
the top list of Cedar Falls merchants.
Two years ago after long trip in the
west, he was taken sick and has been
more or less of an invalid ever since,
though still attending to his numerous
business interests. 1t is thought that
perhaps his i'll health accelerated his
matrimonial venture though friends
had been figuring on sending wedding
presents to another house than Pres
ident Seerley's.
Miss Hansen is spoken OF in highest
terms by all who know her. She was
born in Denmark and can not speak
the English language very we'll, but
Mr.. Mazanti says this will not be any
ban to their happiness as he is also
familiar with the tongue spoken in
the northern European peninsula. The
couple left for a wedding trip to Chi
cago Minneapolis and st. Paul. Upon
their return to Cedar Falls they will
occupy a pretty home which Mr.. Ma
zanti has just purchased. Mr.. Ma
zanti owns some of the best horse flesh
in town and he says that he intends to
enjoy the remaining years OF his life
as we'll as is possible to a well-to-do
merchant in small city of northern
Iowa.
