Girl of His Boyhood. Mrs. Catherine Mount, a former Indianapolis Girl, Lima Boy’s Bride. A dispatch from new York tells of the marriage there of Capt. Stewart M. Brice, the former Lima boy, as follows: New York, Nov, 14. – Captain Stewart Meiley Brice, son of the late Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio married his boyhood sweetheart, Mrs. Catherine Mount, last night, and they will start tomorrow on a honeymoon trip through the south and to Venezuela. The ceremony was performed in the apartments of Mrs. Julia R. Kelsey, No. 505 west One Hundred and Eleventh street, the hostess attending the bride and William Carpenter Camp the bridegroom. The wedding was most informal and those named were the only witnesses. Rev. Dr. Henry Marsh Warren, chaplain of the hotels, officiated. Determined to have all the wedding functions Mrs. Brice immediately after the knot was tied, went to the piano and played the Mendelssohn March. She is an accomplished musician and the divorced wife of a resident of Indianapolis who left her several years ago for a woman of the stage. Though a world traveler and no stranger to adventure abroad and home, Captain Brice knew no matrimonial trials, and in his ignorance took Mrs. Mount to the city hall, seeking a marriage license for the ceremony which they had determined to have performed. They were told that no license was necessary, and then made arrangements with the Rev. Dr. Warren, who went to Mrs. Kelsey’s home and married them. The wedding party and the clergyman then drove to Delmonicio’s where a supper was served. Captain Brice is 35 years old, and his bride is a few years his junior. They were sweethearts in Indianapolis 15 years ago, when he was a Harvard student on vacation, and they met often after, mostly in Washington, where Senator Brice lived at the time he was senator. Captain Brice won high honors in college and was subsequently elected to the district of his family’s home, No. 693 Fifth avenue. He was made a captain of Volunteers at the outbreak of the war with Spain, and served with distinction on the staff of General Shaffer” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/allen/vitals/marriages/mount28nmr.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/ohfiles/ File size: 2.9 Kb
