Our Emma Dale was the Bride.
Huron, S. D., Special, Jan. 23.— Among people who blew into Huron during the severe storm Saturday afternoon was William E. Morrow of Miller, auditor for the Hand company. Mr. Morrow did not come down especially to visit friends though he has quite a number here, but to see a lady who had agreed to meet him at the depot hotel on the arrival of the train from the east. A visit to the clerk’s office by Mr. Morrow disclosed the fact that his business with the lady was of vital importance and his discomfiture can be more readily imagined than described when early in the evening he was advised that the train from the east bearing the object of his affections would not come further than Brookings. He was disappointed and disconsolate and paced the floor of his apartments uneasily.
Relief came, however, when a telegram from the conductor announced that he could get through to Huron, and the train dispatcher told him to come along, which he did, the train reaching here about midnight. Rev. F. W. Long, who had been engaged to perform the ceremony that would unite Mr. Morrow and Miss Emma Dale as husband and wife, was on the same train, and did his best to comfort and console the to-be-bride until her arrival in Huron, Not long after the train stopped, William E. Morrow and Emma Dale were pronounced husband and wife in the parlors of the depot hotel, by Rev. W- F. Long, in the presence of a half dozen guests.—Minneapolis Tribune.
