San Francisco Call, June 27, 1900
“Securely United By Two Pastors.
Trinity Presbyterian Church the Scene of a Double Ceremony, but Only a Single 
Wedding.

One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place in Trinity Presbyterian 
Church, on the corner of Twenty-third and Capp streets, last evening [June 
26].  James Rolph Jr. of the firm of Hind, Rolph & Co., and Miss Annie Marshall 
Reid were the contracting parties.

Mr. Rolph is one of the most popular of the younger business men in the 
community, and Miss Reid’s friends are legion.  In consequence the church was 
crowded to the doors and the universal comment was that a handsomer couple had 
never been wedded in Trinity.  The church was tastefully decorated for the 
occasion.

The bride is a direct descendant of the old Covenanters, while the groom is an 
Episcopalian.  In consequence the Rev. Dr. Mackenzie of the First Presbyterian 
Church and the Rev. L. C. Sanford of St. John’s Episcopal Church both 
officiated at the ceremony.  The bride was attended by Miss Jeanie Reid as maid 
of honor and by Miss Mildred T. Rolph, Miss Gertrude Sibbaid and Miss Marion 
Cumming as bridesmaids.  George U. Hind, Mr. Rolph’s business partner, was his 
best man, and the ushers were Ronald T. Rolph, Thomas Rolph, Archibad [sic?] 
Reid, Robert Reid, James H. Lyons, Henry H. Beatty, Archibald N. Nason, Charles 
W. Haseltine and William E. Nicol.

Saturday night last Mr. Rolph bade all his bachelor friends good-by at a dinner 
in the Palace [Hotel], and all of them were present last night to see him join 
the ranks of the benedicts.  If good wishes will do the young couple any good 
they certainly received a measure brimming over.

Mr. and Mrs. Rolph will leave for the Hawaiian Islands on the steamer Australia 
to-day.  They will be gone two months and all the points of interest in the 
group [of islands] will be visited.  During his stay in Honolulu Mr. Rolph will 
establish a branch of the house of Hind, Rolph & Co.” END
