Tulsa Daily World. (Tulsa, Indian Terr.), Vol. 6, No. 204, Ed. 1 Wednesday, May 17, 1911
	An exceedingly pretty but quiet wedding was solemnized yesterday at the attractive bungalow 
home of Mrs. S.M. Pittman, 214 West Fourth, when her sister, Mrs. E.A. Simon of Galveston, Texas, 
became the bride of Mr. A.D. Wood, also of Galveston.  The ceremony room was redolent with the season’s 
offerings of flowers.  The fireplace with its mantle was massed with Southern Smilax, fragrant honeysuckle 
and wisteria blossoms; on either side were Mission pedestals supporting vases filled with white gladiolas 
and carnations; the same flowers and vines adorned the piano and arches.  In the dining room the table was 
centered with a basket filled with dozens of Killarney roses and the scene was lighted with pink tapers 
shaded with pink and supported in silver candlesticks.  Spring flowers were placed elsewhere about the room.  
The hour for the ceremony was 1 o’clock and Rev. Gilbert A. Ottman, rector of Trinity Church, read the 
beautiful Episcopal ring service in the presence of the most intimate friends of Mrs. Pittman.  Preceding 
the ceremony, Mr. George F. Maxey at the piano played Lohengrin’s wedding music and the bride leaning on the 
arm of her sister entered from a side parlor and joined the minister and groom at the altar fashioned at the 
fireplace.  Mrs. Simon, who is of the striking brunette type, wore an exceedingly smart tailored Redfern gown 
of mulberry home spun linen, the costume being completed for traveling by hat, gloves and all accessories to 
match.  Following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served by Mrs. Pittman.  Mr. and Mrs. Wood left on the 
afternoon train for Dallas, Texas, where they will make their home.  Mrs. Simon is one of the recognized women 
of the Southwest, having been engaged in business in Galveston.  During the Buffalo Exposition, her likeness in 
photograph was seen as one of the most beautiful women in the Southwest.  She has been the guest of her sister 
on different occasions and holds both admiration and friendship of those who know her.  Mr. Wood is a descendant 
of one of the oldest families in Texas, being one of the Austin family, for whom the capital city of Texas is 
named.  He is a broker and is prominent in public affairs in many ways.
