Monring Oregonian October 30,1904
One of the prettiest of the Fall weddings was that of Miss Grace Emily Dowling 
and Mrs. Charles Francis Foster, on Wednesday evening,October 26. The Rev. 
W.R. Powell officiated.
The parlor, where the ceremony took place,was exceedingly beautiful in Oregon 
holly and Autumn leaves,the bridal party standing under a canopy of greens and 
white. The dining room,where ices were served by Mrs.Apperson,assisted by 
Mrs.Armstrong,Miss McAllister and Miss Stringer, wa sdecorated with pink and 
white roses. The room where punch was served by Miss Agness Foster and Miss 
May Smit, was decorated with large American flags and ferns.
The wedding march fom Mendelssohn was played by Mrs. MIller,announcing the 
bridal aprty. The groom, with his best man,Mr.James Dowling,entered 
first,followed by the maid of honor,Miss Florence Dowling, who wore white 
organdy with yellow chrsythanemums. Then came the bride, on the arm of her 
uncle,Mr.Ed Dalton,who gave her away.
The bride was beautiful in a white silk gown,trimmed with duchesse lace,and 
wore a diamond sunburst. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses tied with 
tulle.
Only the immediate family was present during the ceremony,a reception being 
held from 8:30 to 11 o'clock.
Mr.Dowling is a prominent member of the Second Oregon Volunteer Regiment, and 
both he and his bride have many friends in the city.

honeymoon and will be at home to their friends after November 15 at 291
