One of the prettiest and most elaborate weddings which ever took place in our 
city was the one of Wednesday evening in the Presbyterian church, when Glen 
Latimer, son of Dr. M.A. Latimer, took “for better or for worse,” Miss Emma 
Strohm to be his wedded wife.  The wedding party was a decidedly handsome one.  
There were two bridesmaids and groomsmen, Grace Breslin and Edith  Nutter and 
Frank Hand and Thomas Woodbridge.  A maid of honor and best man were Miss 
Valley Latimer and Forest Latimer, and Little Lucile McAvey was the hand-maid.  
Both looked very sweet and dainty in white.
Then came the bride on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr.Gerster, who gave her 
away.  The little Parker twins, Fay and Freda, followed bearing the train and 
veil of the bride.  They were beautifully dressed in red tarlatan and carried 
roses.  The bride’s gown was an elegant creation of silk mull and lace, and she 
was simply magnificent in her beauty.  The brides maids also were elegant 
gowns, Miss Nutter’s being of white organdie and Miss Breslin’s a pink dotted 
chiffon over pink silk, trimmed with pearl embossed birds.
After ceremony at the church a quiet reception was held at Dr. Latimer’s home.  
Beside the wedding party were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Briggs, Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Mannix, Mr. and Mrs. McNair, Mrs. Slaughter and miss Doems of Pueblo.  Elegant 
and costly presents in large numbers were received, showing the esteem in which 
both young people are held.  They left on the evening train for Denver and 
Manitou.  They will be at home after two weeks.

The following invitations have been received by many:  “Mrs. and Mrs. Nathaniel 
Rupp request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, 
Catherine Gail, to Mr. Eugene Mitchell Curtis, Wednesday, June 14, 1899, 
Christian church, Oakland, In.  At home after July 15, Cripple Creek, Colo.”  
These young people are both well known here and in Cripple Creek and their many 
friends extend them the heartiest congratulations.

go to housekeeping in a cosy cottage on Granite avenue, which the groom has 
already furnished.

Still another man has joined the benedicts, our popular druggist, Geo. 
Bockfinger.  He was united in marriage to Miss Rose Busch last Tuesday evening 
at the bride’s home near the Moose mine, by Rev. W.W. Ferguson, the Episcopal 
ceremony being used.  The maid of honor was Miss Nettie Rosenboum of Boulder; 
the best man was Peter Busch and the little ring bearer, Mary Busch, who 
carried the ring in a rose on a silver tray.  The bride wore a beautiful cream 
silk with cream lace and pearl trimmings en traine.  The maid of honor wore a 
cream silk similar to that of the bride.  Each carried large bouquets of 
roses.  The house was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses and 
smilex and the wedding supper was simply a feast.  The table was handsomely 
decorated with roses and ribbons, the bride’s cake occupying the center, and 
was cut by the bride, with a silver cake-knife.  The presents were many and 
elegant, that of the groom to the bride being a deed of their pretty home 
completely furnished, and the father’s a superb necklace with diamond and 
emerald pendant.  This she wore during the ceremony.  There were about fifty 
guests present.

And still another worthy citizen has forsaken the paths of single blessedness 
and taken unto himself a wife.  Our esteemed alderman, Matt Berisch was married

Weddings by telephone, telegraph and even phonograph have been performed in 
this country, chiefly in the wild and wooly west, and their occurrence has 
always startled the reading public.  No comes from the same land a story of 
another wedding at long range, but this time by viva voce.  Albert Perry is a 
cowboy, and Emma Moyer is the daughter of a ranchman near Perry, O.T.  They had 
arranged to be married.  A heavy storm had swollen the streams and made it 
impossible for the minister to reach the ranch to perform the ceremony.  But a 
little thing like that could not daunt the young lovers.  They drove to the 
bank of the stream that barred the progress of the minister, and he shouted his
