NEW YORK CITY = In a
bridal ceremony noted for its
simplicity and grace, the mar
riage of Carlotta Laura Hen
derson and DR.. jeremiah Ger
tame took place at 4 o'clock
last Saturday afternoon, Aug,
3, 1916, at Grace Congregation
al Church on West 139th st,
New York City. The Rev. JOS
eph Evans of Hartford, Conn,
former pastor of the church)
came to the city especially to
perform the ceremony in the
presence of over two hundred
friends and relatives repre-
senting New York City, Could
town, Bridgeton, Atlantic City,
Montclair, Newark, Orange, and
Trenton, N. j., Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Cleveland, Kansas City,
Mo, and Berkeley, California.
The ceremony was followed
by a reception at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar S. Henderson of 27O
Convent Ave. where the bridal
party received amid a profu-
sion of snilax, ferns and cut
flowers. The bride was an en-
chanting picture in gown eS-
pecially created by the inter-
nationally known artist, Grant
land, who fashioned for her a
costume Of snow white Duchess
satin and draped chiffon with
trimmings and fiouncings made
from precious heirloom lace
and caught here and there
with forgetmenots. The lace
was from a collection of rare
laces held as treasures in the
brides mothers family and
perhaps carrying fragrant
memories of former brides who
at one time wore lace from the
same collection. The brides
veil was of conventional tulle
of fingertip length worn over
the, face until the moment
when she was pronounced Mrs.
