Ed. Bennewitz Former Warren
Boy, Marries at Longmont,
Colorado.

Edward BenneWitz and Miss Bessie
Cunning, the daughter Of a wealthy
farmer of Longmont. had been
engaged to marry for a long time.
The date for the wedding, however,
had not been set, the lovers being,
quite well satisfied as long as they
were near each other.
Yesterday John BenneWitz, the
aged uncle, passed away. His last
request was that his body should be
taken to his former home at Red
Wing, Mimi, by his fayorite nephew
for burial.
Young Bennewitz promised the
old man that his last wish would be
carried out to the letter but later he
repented when it was too late. He
did not want to be away SO long from
his pretty sweetheart.
This morning what he says was a
happy thought struck him. He
figured it all out that if he could in
duce Miss Cunning to become mis-
bride instanter and accompany him
on the journey, they could combine
pleasure with business. Miss Gun
ming, who is Of a practical turn OF
mind and knows how to practice
economy, accepted her lovers view OF
the situation and consented to be
married at once. The ceremony was
performed this morning by Rev. G..
J. Howell, Pastor Of the Presby terrain
church.
A number of friends of the couple
who were Informed of their marriage
went to the depot to bid the bridal
couple goodbye and shoWered them
with rice and old shoes. Some Of
the grains of rice fell on the big
wooden burial case in which was the
coffin and body Of the dead uncle OF
the groom, but this little incident
did not seem to mar the happiness OF
the newly married young people,
