At 10 O'Clock on the morning of
April 30 occurred the wedding of Miss
Arabelle Adelaide Grant and Gordon
Everett Shepard.
Mr.. Shepard is a successful young
druggist from Humboldt owa, where
he has always made his home with
his grandfather, Mr.. Harrison, but he
is we'll known to the younger set as he
used often to visit his father, who was
in business here in Princeton for
several years.
The bride, whom all are sorry to
lose from our midst, is the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Grant
and is truly a Princeton girl, having
been born here and having always
made this her home with the exception
OF the past winter, which she spent in
South Dakota where she was teaching.
She graduated from the Princeton high
school in the class of 'O7.
Mr.. Grant, the father of the bride,
was for number of years a promi-
nent business man of Princeton, but
he has lately gone into business at
Beach, North Dakota, near which, in
Montana, he has taken up claim
where the family is about to move.
Owing to this fact the VOWS which
made the happy young couple one we're
spoken at the home of Mr.. nd Mrs. J.
F. Peterson. The Rev. Isaac Houl-
gate read the impressive marriage SER
vice of the Episcopal church before
small gathering of the immediate
relatives and friends. In the absence
OF the BRIDES father her mother gave
ner away. Inc decorations through
out the house were in pink and green.
The bride wore her going-away
gown which was of tan and brown
stripe cloth with coat to match. Her
hat was cream and blue.
After a simple wedding breakfast
the young couple left on the morning
train for wedding trip which will in
clude visit to Mr.. Shepard's father
at Lake Elmo. On Friday they will
meet Mrs. Grant and Master Ward in
Minneapolis to leave together for
Montana.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard have claim
adjoining that of the Grants on which
they will pass their honeymoon.
The best wishes of the community
go with Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard to their
Montana home.
