to Take Part in Nupitals

The Battle Creek, Michigan Daily Journal of May 11th., a copy of which was furnished by friends, contains an account of the approaching marriage, the first week in June, at Scotsburg, Denmark, of Jessie Blanche Ryland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Ryland, formerly of our city, to Dr. Martin A. Mortenson, chief surgeon and superintendent of the Scotsburg Sanitarium, a branch of the Kellog [sic] Sanitarium, of Battle Creek.

Miss Ryland, whose parents are dead, has resided in the family of Dr. J. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, the past eight years. She departed from there May 12th, a farewell reception having been tendered her the evening before, for New York, from which city she sailed May 15th, on the steamer Majestic. She is a graduate of the Kellogg Sanitarium school for nurses, also of Chautauqua delsarte and has acquitted herself with credit while in attendance at the S. D. A. Baptist College at Alfred Center, New York. (It affords us great pleasure to thus mention the efforts and successes of one of Bonaparte's "little girls.") -- but we mustn't lose sight of the fortunate groom prospective! Dr. Mortenson is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and enjoys the reputation of being one of the most skillful physicians of his country.

The BONAPARTE (Van Buren County, Iowa, United States of America) RECORD, a copy of which will fall beneath the eyes of this happy couple-to-be, wishes them unbounded happiness and success in their European home.
