MIGenWeb The Evart Review Friday, October 17, 1879 An interesting event of the week was a nuptial affair at the residence of the Hon. John C.

The happy couple took the afternoon train for Flint. ________________________________ The Evart Review Friday, October 24, 1879 --True-Dexter.--Married at the residence of Hon John C. Dexter, Evart, Mich., Oct. 15th, by S. F. Dexter, Esq., Mr. Frank A. True, to Miss Hattie A. Dexter, all of Evart. The wedding was a pleasant affair and passed off apparently to the satisfaction of a large number of invited guests. The bride was the happy recipient of many beautiful and costly gifts from friends at home and abroad, which were more expressive than words, of the esteem in which she is held, by her large circle of acquaintances. The newly wedded left on the first train east, for a visit among the groom's friends, in Flint, Mich. Cheerful adieus were uttered and the prayers of all hearts seemed to be: May joy go with them on life's way, Peace, with them kindly wait; Love's links grow brighter day by day, Till they reach the Golden Gate. X. ________________________________ The Evart Review Friday, July 2, 1880 DIED. In this village June 29th, ult. Hattie A. wife of F. A. True, and only daughter of the Hon. John C. Dexter. Aged 28 years. It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow and sadness that we chronicle the above event. No death in the history of this village since our residence here, has created such profound grief, and such intense regrets as the one above mentioned. The deceased came here some nine years ago, when, what is now a pleasant and thriving village, was simply a break in an almost unbroken forest, and all along, through these years has been closely identified with and an active agent in forwarding all its social and literary interests. Pleasing in her address, amiable in disposition, affable in all her intercourse with her acquaintances she won to her many friends, who, while they deeply and sincerely mourn her unexpected death, will ever cherish the memory of her many virtues. Her stricken and sorely bereaved husband, and father has the sincere sympathy of this entire community. Her funeral was largely attended yesterday from her late residence on Main street. The services being conducted by Mrs. R. Shepard of Minneapolis. ________________________________ Excerpt from biographical sketch of Frank A. True.
