BELL-LOUDEN

A wedding in which many Bellefonte and Centre-countians will be interested 
was that on Saturday [March 10] afternoon of Calvin Earl Bell son of Mr. and 
Mrs. C. C. Bell, formerly of this place but now of Huntingdon where Mr. Bell 
is instructor in the trades school in the Penna. industrial Reformatory, and 
Miss Lulu Marion Louden, of San Francisco.  The ceremony which took place at 
1:30 o'clock at the Bell home on Penn St., was performed by Rev. J. Harper 
Black, assisted by Rev. D. E. Masters.  About 75 guests were present.  An 
interesting feature of the ceremony was the use of the same ring with which 
the parents of the bride sealed their matrimonial vows in San Francisco 
years ago.  There was just a tinge or romance connected with the wedding.  
The bride was born in San Francisco where she lived until the death of her 
mother some three years or more ago when she came East to make her home with 
her uncle and Aunt, Prof. and Mrs. J. H. Likens of Huntingdon.  It was while 
she was a student in the Huntingdon High School that an intimate friendship 
sprang up between the two young people with the result that a proposal of 
marriage was made which was promptly accepted by letter and on the first day 
of Feb. 1, the Bride-elect left San Francisco and traveled alone across the 
continent over three thousand miles to wed the man of her choice, Saturday's 
wedding therefore, being the happy culmination.  At the reception following 
the ceremony the engagement of Miss Margaret Estella Bell, a sister of the 
groom, to Frank Blair Patton, son of Supt. T. B. Patton, of the Reformatory, 
was formally announced.

Democratic Watchman, Friday, March 16, 1906
