Wats0n-J Jenkins Nuptial
Saturday Durango people received
cards announcing the marriage of
Miss Evangeline Jenkins and Mr.. Otis
E. Watson, which occurred in Socorro,
N. NJ, Sunday, June 5. Rev. Mr.. Err
win, pastor of the Presbyterian church
of that town oficiated. Mrs. Charles
Newman and Mr.. and Mrs. John Herr
witnessed the ceremony. The bride
was attired in a travelling gown of
tan ratine, an especially becoming
creation. She carried roses. The
groom wore the conventional black.
Immediately following the services the
happy young couple left by auto for
Magdalena and from there overland
to Tularosa rangers station, where
Mr.. Watson is at present making his
headquarters. Miss Jenkins has hosts
of friends in Durango who wish for
her wealth of happiness in her we'd
ded life. For three years she was at
the head of the English department
in our local school and her influence
with the young people who were num-
bered among her pupils was inestim-
able. Her breadth of culture and
charm of manner is certain to make
her an important factor in any COM
munity. Mr.. Watson is a highly re-
spected young man, who made many
friends in this city during the time
he resided here with his sister Mrs.
j. E, Bradford. If all the good wishes
in behalf of Mr.. and Mrs. Watson
materialize, their path through life
will certainly be one of continuous
happiness.
