BEATTIE - DOLSON.
Marriage of the Pastor of the Broad Avenue Presbyterian Church.

  On Thursday, November 2, Rev. Robert Brewster Beattie, pastor of the 
Broad Avenue Presbyterian church, was married to Miss Cecelia Fullerton 
Dolson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Dolson, of Middletown, N.Y., 
the ceremony taking place in the Second Presbyterian church of that 
city at 7 o'clock in the evening, the officiating clergyman being Rev. 
Charles Beattie, D.D., father of the groom.  Every seat in the spacious 
auditorium was occupied.  After the ceremony, which was unusually 
impressive, the newly wedded couple were driven to the home of the 
bride's parents where a reception followed.  One entire room was 
required for the wedding presents.  Among these were cut glass, silver 
bric-a-brac, rare pieces of chinaware, hand painted goods of almost 
every conceivable design, furniture, wall decorations, and also money 
and checks in different amounts ranging from $500 down.
  The Middletown Press, from which we have culled the above, has this 
to say of the bride and groom:
  "The bride is widely known and much admired for her affable and sweet 
disposition and all the proper qualities to make a model wife of a 
minister.  She has always been identified with the Second Presbyterian 
church and its societies, including the King's Daughters.  She 
graduated from Wallkill academy in the class of '93.
  "The groom is also well and favorably known in Middletown where he 
was born and grew to manhood.  He was also a popular social favorite 
and as an all round athlete had no peers in this locality.  He 
graduated from Wallkill academy in the class of '93 and from Union 
college in the class of '96.  He entered Princeton for a theological 
course the same year and graduated in the spring of the present year."
