The following account of the Nor
gridge-Henderson wedding is taken
from the Muscatine Journal:
Marked by simplicity the nuptials
of Mrs. May Dolsen-M orgridge, Mus
catine's beautiful contralto4 singer. and
Dr. Arthur S. Henderson. of Topeka,
Kan, formerly pastor of the First Con-
gregational church here, were perform
ed this morning at 1880 o'clock, by DR..
L. M Grigsby, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, an old
friend Of the groom, at the church
parsonage. DR.. and Mrs. w. S. Nor
ton, and their little daughter, Miss
Ruth, and Harold Henderson, son of
the groom, were the only attendants
during the impressive ceremony. I'm
mediately following DR.. and Mrs. Hen
points, including Philadelphia where
they will enjoy two weeks honey
moon trip. The bride was charming
in a beautiful navy blue tailored trav
cling costume with hat to correspond.
The bride in this mornings interest
ing affair, is a musician of unusual
talent, and while her hosts of friends
here will extend their congratulations
and best wishes they will at the same
time regret her leaving to make her
future home elsewhere. She is a daugh-
ter of E. H. Dolsen and has devoted
practically her lifetime to music. She
is the possessor of a rare contralto
voice, one of exquisite beauty, which
has been heard in Muscatine in several
recitals. For the past nine years she
has been singing in the choir at the
Walnut Street Presbyterian church at
Philadelphia, where she has been a
resident for about 16 years. She has
also been director of the glee club at
the Pennington, N. J.
Doctor Henderson was until a few
years ago. a successful pastor of the
First Congregational church here, re-
signing to take the pastcrate at the
First Congregational church at To-
peka, Kan. He is one of the leading
congregational pastors in the west,
and has enjoyed great success since
taking his present pastorate.
DR.. and Mrs. Henderson will return
to Muscatine for a brief visit before
continuing to their home at Topeka,
where they expect to be at home to
their friends after the first CT Deem
Der.
