The wedding of Miss Rebecca Houck
to Lieut.. Patrick Frissen, U. S. A,
yesterday morning, linked together
two old and prominent families of
Southeast Missouri.
The ceremony was performed at 10
o'clock by the Rev. DR.. ]. C. Maple,
one Of the oldest Baptist ministers in
Missouri. 1t was an transformations
wedding, but what it lacked in dis
play, it more than overcame by the
prominence Of the principals.
The bride is probably the best
known young lazy in this section of
the state, and is the daughter of Hon.
Louis Houck, who has been called the
father of the Normal School and the
guardian of Southeast Missouri"
Lieut.. Frissell is one of the few
natives Of this section of the state
who holds commission in the United
States Army, and he won this distinc-
ton by good work in the ranks. He is
brother of Capt. 7. T. Frissell, West
Pointer, who served with distinction
during the Spanish-American war. R.
w. Frissen, another brother, also
served through the Spanish-American
trouble.
Miss Houck is a sister of Maj. Glib
oney Houck, who likewise was in &C
tive service during the conflict of
1898, serving at Havana with the
Sixth Missouri Volunteers, of which
he was Captain.
The marriage was followed by an
elaborate wedding breakfast. The
bride, clad in a travelling suit, carved
the huge wedding cake which bore the
appearance Of a miniature mountain.
Those at the table, who witnessed the
nuptials, were: Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Houck, parents of the bride; Mr.. and
Mrs. N. C. Frissell, mother and father
of the bridegroom; Major Giboney
Houck, Mrs. L. B. Houck, Charles Ju-
den, Mr.. and Mrs. R. w. Frissell, Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Frissell, Miss Mary
Frissell and her brother Howard.
Clustered about Mrs. Houck were
her three grandchildren, Sally, Alex
and Andrew Juden, and on one side
of the bride was DR.. Maple, the dis
tinguished clergyman who performed
the ceremony.
Immediately after breakfast, the
principals babe their relatives good
bye, and were hurried away in an auto
for Edna. There they boarded a train
for Kansas City, where they will
change for the Southwest, their des-
tination being Fl. Douglas, Arizona,
where Lieut.. Frissell's company is
stationed. His furlough expires April
8.
The newlyweds will soon be joined
by the family of Capt. Thomas 7.
Frissel, who is also member of the
Eleventh Infantry. Capt. Frisseil is
now at San Diego, Calf, on sick leave
but expect to join his company with
in few weeks.
Before she became Mrs. Frissell,
Miss Houck made a particular effort
to conceal the suitcases that were to
accompany them to Fl. Douglas. Her
small niece, Sally Juden and her two
brothers, were eager to commit some
prankish act and she thought she
would foil their plans by locking the
suitcases in q room upstairs and then
hiding the key.
But Alex and Andrew outgeneraled
the bride. Alex boosted his brother up
to the transom and he entered the
room closely followed by Andrew.
With a quill and bottle Of ink they
lettered these words on each of the
suit cases: eve are newlyweds." Then
they emerged and were among the
most attentive spectators at the we'd
ding.
When the prank was discovered, it
was too late to be rectified, and the
suitcases were loaded into the auto.
AS the couple were entering the ma
chine, Alex and Andrew began bonn
bardment with rice. Not only the new
lyweds, but their chaperones were also |
battered.
