THE STEWART-CONOVER WEDDING

  At the First Methodist Episcopal church parsonage at 8:30 o'clock Thursday 
evening, Oct. 17, occurred the wedding of Miss Mellie STEWART and Mr. William 
Bede D. J. (sic) CONOVER both of this city.  Dr. G. E. SCRIMGER, pastor of the 
church said the service in the presence of only the bride's sister, Miss Dove 
STEWART and a near friend of the groom Mr. Thomas WOOD   While the newly-wedded 
people were in the parsonage a party of friends of both the bride and groom 
gathered near the place and with stringed musical instruments serenaded them.  
Mr. and Mrs. CONOVER went from the parsonage direct to their new home, 209 West 
Tremont street, where a large crowd of relatives and friends gathered to make 
merry on one of the happiest days in the lives of the tow.  Refreshments were 
served in abundance and good cheer reigned throughout the evening.

  The bride is a daughter of Mr. Peter STEWART of Homer.  The groom, who is 
known all over the Twin Cities as "Bede" CONOVER, is a clerk in John 
MORRISSEY's wholesale and retail tobacco house.  His friends are found all over 
the Twin Cities and in the surrounding towns among dealers and clerks who 
transact business with the MORRISSEY company.
