Wednesday evening, February l3, was an ideal
beginning for a bright
February eve, and its sunshine was in harmony
with the spirits of the
joyous company of 40 intimate friends, who
assembled at the residence of
MR. and MRS. W.T. CARTWRIGHT to witness the
marriage of their lovely and
accomplished daughter, CARRIE, to MR. WM.
LEE, of Denver, Col.
At 7 p.m. the notes of the wedding march
filled the room, played by Mrs.
L. Richson, the bridal party marched
gracefully into the parlor, and
were united in marriage by the Rev. Geo.
Hughes, repeating the
impressive Episcopal ring service. MR. and
MRS. LEE received the
congratulations of those assembled, and then
they led the way to the
dining room, where an elegant dinner was
prepared by MRS. CARTWRIGHT.
The tables were arranged in a hollow square,
the bride and groom
occupying the seats of honor.

The bride is so well known and so generally a
favorite, as to need no
words of introduction. She will be sadly
missed in our midst. She was
arrayed in an elegant robe of crepe and
satin, cream colored, arranged
with square neck, trimmed with cream lace
with slippers to match. Her
only ornament was a beautiful diamond ring, a
wedding present from the
groom.

The groom is an employ of the C.R.I. & P.R.R.
and is a young man of the
highest moral character, and first-class
business ability. He was
dressed in a cut-a-way suit of black
broadcloth and presented a handsome
appearance.

The bridesmaid, the groom's sister, MISS MAUD
LEE, was arrayed in a
black satin gown with pink trimmings, with
pink shoulder mitts and
slippers.

MR. FRANK MENDENHALL acted as best man,
dressed in the convenient black
suit.

They received many useful and beautiful
presents. The young people will
visit here until March l0 when they will go
to their new home at lll3
Larimer St., Denver, Col., where they will be
"at home" to their friends
after March l5. The congratulations and best
wishes go with them from
all the public.

--ONE WHO WAS
THERE.
