July 1, 1908 THERE WERE 409 JUNE BRIDES.
Heaviest Marriage License Business in History of the City.
More marriage licenses were granted by the recorder of deeds during June than ever before in the history of Kansas City. A total of 409 licenses were issued during the thirty days in June, and average of nearly fourteen daily. This means that 818 people agreed during the month to try the more or less tempestuous voyage on the sea of matrimonial bliss.
In only one day during the month, last Friday, did applicants fail to seek the happiness certificates, and in all the rest of the days, Sundays excepted, the office was literally crowded with those who wanted licenses.Labels: wedding June 26, 1908
BURNING SULFUR MARS A WEDDING.
BROTHER OF THE BRIDE SE- VERELY HURT.
HAND SERIOUSLY INJURED.
ANOTHER GUEST OVERCOME BY SULPHUROUS FUMES.
Home Where Ceremony Was Being Held Set on Fire Accidentally. The "Cutups" Find New Source of Torment.
Jokers made an attempt to fumigate the residence of Mrs. N. P. Maupin, 3609 Wyandotte street, Wednesday night while Mrs. Maupin's daughter was being married in the parlor to Harry Pierce, a furnishing goods dealer. As a result of the prank Robert Maupin, brother of the bride, may have an injured left hand the rest of his life, and J. J. Foster, a wedding guest, is still confined at his home, 2001 Woodland avenue, ill from inhaling deadly sulphur fumes.
The wedding ceremony was just performed and the formalities of bride-greeting were on, when Robert Maupin left the room to investigate the source of sulphur fumes, which had annoyed the guests during the last few minutes of the wedding service. He entered a rear room and was almost overcome by the fume before he discovered the tray on which the sulphur was burning. The jokers who placed the sulphur inside had closed the window again and Mr. Maupin was forced to raise the sash with one hand while he held the tray of burning sulphur in the other. The window "stuck," he jerked impatiently, and the tray was overturned. The burning mass ran over Mr. Maupin's left hand and he screamed in pain. In the meantime, J. J. Foster, who had gone in search of Maupin, heard the latter's startled cry and rushed into the room. The window curtains were ablaze and the carpet was burning. The deadly fumes prostrated Mr. Foster beore he could get out of the room, after putting out the fire and aiding Mr. Maupin with the window and the sulphur tray. Dr. Allen L. Porter was called from his residence at 3001 Central street. He revived Mr. Foster and treated Mr. Maupin's hand. Mr. Foster was then taken to his home and later another physician was called in consultation. Last night Mr. Foster was unable to leave his house. He insisted last night on going to the telephone and talking to Maupin. He had intended offering a reward for the detection of the jokers who caused his injury. Mr. Maupin, however, said he would prefer not to prosecute because he is sure the fumigating method was taken by friends, who merely tried to frighten the bride and groom. The flesh was burned from Maupin's hand, and the attending physician stated that some of the finger joints may remain stiff. Mr. Pierce and his bride, who was Miss L. Maupin, will leave tonight for a honeymoon tour of California and the Pacific coast. Their departure was postponed on account of the serious injury to the bride's brother and their guest.

Not Because They Favored the City, but to Save Money.
Walter F. Austin, Jr., of New York city, and Miss Eva Belle Tomkins of San Francisco, met at the Baltimore hotel Friday and were married yesterday by the Rev. Hampden S. Church. The bride and groom will leave here today for New York, where Mr. Austin is connected with the National Alumni Publishing Company.
"Nothing but an old childhood affair," said Mr. Austin yesterday. "We'd known each other since we were children. I didn't want to go clear to Frisco and she didn't want to bring her parents all the way to New York, so we decided to meet here yesterday and get married today. Her father and mother came along and I brought my father. No elopement, no romance at all. Just a time, money and trouble saving proposition."Labels: Hotel Baltimore, ministers, visitors, wedding June 6, 1908 BRIDE WAS ELOPING WITH THE BEST MAN.
Italian Romance Is Shattered by Hus- band and Four Lusty Detectives.
A romance of Little Italy was spoiled last night by the inerference of the police, and Nick Salardino and Joe Bolarchine and their co-wife, Carrie, retired with heavy hearts. The eloping couple was caught at Union depot by detectives.
Two days ago Nick Salardino married Miss Carrie Bisbee, who lived at Fifth and Cherry streets. Their marriage was solemnized with the usual Italian ceremony and the best man was Joe Bolarchino. Then the honeymoon began.
It lasted -- well, until Joe, the best man, happened to gain private conversation with the bride Then the elopement was planned and two tickets were purchased for Van Buren, Ark.
At the Union depot last night just before 10 o'clock, Nick, the bridegroom, who was wise to the fact that his wife was eloping with the best man, appeared and demanded their arrest. Detectives Sanderson, Julian, Lyngar and Harvey were on hand and the whole big four swooped down upon the eloping couple. They found Joe and Carrie in a Missouri Pacific train and placed them under arrest. Detective Sanderson asked the bride for her ticket and she produced a Missouri Pacific ticket for Van Buren, and told the officers taht she was going away with Joe because, she said, he was the only man she ever loved and she didn't care much for her husband, Nick.
Joe and Carrie, the eloping couple, were locked up at the West Bottoms police station. A charge will be filed agasint them today. The bride, the only one implicated who can talk English, declined last night to discuss he affair other tahn to say she loves the man she tried to elope with to Arkansas.Labels: immigrants, railroad, romance, Union depot, wedding June 2, 1908
ELOPED FROM POOR FARM TO BE MARRIED.
WILLIAM MEADS AND BRIDE DE- FIED COUNTY COURT.
He is 66 and the Bride, Formerly Mrs. Eliza Anderson, Is 76. They'll Live in a Candy Store.
Neither age nor circumstance can stand before the will of Dan Cupid. Among the twenty-one women in Kansas City who became brides yesterday, the earliest June bride of them allow as Mrs. William Thomas Meads, 76 years old, who, as Mrs. Eliza Anderson, eloped from the county poor farm with the groom in the early morning and was married at the court house at 10 o'clock by Justice Mike Ross. And among the twenty-one none is more happy or more thrilled with dreams of the future.
"The county court wouldn't let us marry at the farm," she explained last evening in the room at 727 Harrison street, which she and the groom rented for a week. "There is absolutely no sense in them not allowing us to get married, but since they wouldn't , we up and ran away. We were up at 5 o'clock, for it takes William a long time to get over the two miles to the station. The other women there bade me goodby last night.
"Now that we are here and married, we are ready to face the world again. We fled from it once. But William has saved his salary as librarian, and I have many friends in Kansas City. We are going to open a little confectionery store and live in a room in the back. We are certain that we can make a living and are never going back to the poor farm.
"They never treated William right out at the farm. He had charge of the library and had to be on his feet day and night to answer two telephones. And they only gave him $5 a month. He can make lots more than that in Kansas City."
The bride, who had been standing back of Meads's chair, here stopped her flow of talk to push her spectacles back on her forehead, stoop, put an arm around Meads's neck and kiss him on the brow. The old man petted her with his one able hand.
"She's a mighty good little woman," he put in. "Don't you dare to poke fun of her in your paper."
"No," interrupted the bride, straightening suddenly. "It is an outrage the way we have been treated. People seem to think our running away is a joke. I've just as much right to get married as I had fifty years ago. I'm an old settler in Kansas City. I have been here forty years. My husband died twenty years ago and I went to work for Bullene, Moore, Emery & Company. I was with them a long time until I got the asthma so that I couldn't work nor live in the city. So I went out to the farm where the air is pure. I know some of the finest people in Kansas City. Two members of the grand jury, who visited the home, recognized me and were astonished. I told them it is no disgrace to be on the poor farm. It's no crime to be poor, after one has worked hard for years and years, as I did. It's just inconvenient.
"William and I are going to start life all over again, aren't we, William?"
The groom gave a "yes" pat with his hand.
That is about all -- Oh, yes, there is the groom. William Meads is 66 years old and paralyzed on one side. He fought during the entire civil war under General Joseph Shelby. After the rebellion he was employed for fifteen years on a Kansas City evening newspaper During the latter part of the period he was foreman of the composing room. When he was stricken with paralysis he went to the poor farm. He has better use of his right arm and leg now than he had ten years ago, but his general health has been worn down by the passing of years. he did not attempt to rise from his chair either to greet or bid farewell to his visitor.Labels: Civil War, courthouse, Harrison street, poor farm, romance, Seniors, veterans, wedding May 21, 1908 "OF COURSE I'LL NOT OBEY HIM," SAID SHE.
And the Judge Had to Revise Civil Ceremony for This Laugh- ing Bride.
"Do you, Minnie Louise Kendrick, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to honor and obey, to cleave to in --"
Justice F. O. Miller's recitation of the ritual was interrupted by laughter from the girl in the white dress. There was something infectious in her laughter, it was so girlish and free. The judge fell to laughing and the mere man, Professor Joseph F. Bell, looked on in amazement. When the girl straightened her face finally , she said:
"No, of course, I won't obey him. How funny!" Then she laughed again.
"I think you ought to, after I came all the way from the Philippine islands for you," put in Professor Bell pleasantly.
Miss Kendrick didn't reply, except to keep right on laughing. And she won the point, too, for at last the professor surrendered.
"I guess I'll leave the obey part out," chuckled Judge Miller. And he did when he repeated the sentence.
Professor Bell is principal of the United States schools in Ilagan, P. I. He has been out th ere two years. His bride taught last year in the city schools at Brunswick, Mo. Professor Bell met her there fou r or five years ago, when she was a pupil under him in the high school.
After their marriage in the court house they left for Chicago. There is to be a trip over the Great lakes before they settle in Ilagan.Labels: Chicago, Judges, wedding April 25, 1908 SMITH'S SAVING MONEY NOW.
He Married Mrs. McAdams and Buys No More Roses.
The mystery of why the roses ceased coming to Mrs. Helen E. McAdams, a deputy probation officer at the detention home office, was solved yesterday when the Rev. H. G. Maze of the Watt's Memorial church at Independence returned to the marriage license clerk a copy of Mrs. McAdams's certificate of marriage to W. W. Smith. Mrs. McAdams has been receiving a box of red roses daily for so long that no one remembers when the first one came. Tuesday there came for her a bushel of American Beauties and nary a rose since. Mrs. McAdam became Mrs. Smith Tuesday night. The bridegroom is an officer in the Builders' Sand Company. They will be home to friends at 3600 East Twenty-ninth street.Labels: churches, detention home, ministers, Twenty-ninth street, wedding March 15, 1908
SHE'LL PLAY TWO PARTS NOW.
Miss Cleo Lewis, Actress, Assumes the Role of Wife.
From stageland into the sterner realities of life have plunged two members of the Parisian Widows company which will show at a local theater this week. At noon yesterday Miss Cleo Lewis and S. Frank Scheuer were married by Justice Festus O. Miller.
The wedding was a surprise to the other members of the company.
Mrs. Scheuer is in from Philadelphia and her husband is from New York. Mr. Scheuer is musical director of the company and his bride has a small speaking part in the show.
James W. Rowland, the comedian of the company, was best man and Miss Delia Walker, also of the company, was bride's maid. The bride was given away by Frank Abbott, manager of the company.Labels: Judges, theater, visitors, wedding February 21, 1908 WALLACE REFUSED TO TOUCH THE WINE.
WOULD NOT DRINK FROM JEW- ISH WEDDING CUP.
Was Guest of Honor at Marriage of Rose Mandelcorn, bot Offended Parents by Failing to Drink Her Health.
Judge William H. Wallace was the guest of honor at a wedding feast last night, and a Jewish wedding feast at that. That is he was the guest of honor for a little while, until he refused to drink from the wedding cup. Then he rememered that he had an "important engagement" and unceremoniously departed.
It happened this way: Rose Mandelcorn, daughter of a grocer at 1029 Independence avenue, who lives at 510 Harrison street, was to be married to Dr. Adolph Miller of Nashville, Tenn. Much time had been spent in decorting the bride's home, many anxious hours had been passed by the bride's good mother in working out the details of what she had dreamed of since Rose was a tiny bud of feminity -- her daughter's wedding, the event of her life. Father Mandelcorn, too, had his concern in the affair. Besides the thousand dollars he had laid aside as his daughter's dowry, he had spent much on the feast, but it seemed to him that something lacked to raise it all above the sluggish swirl of lower Harrison street society.
Father Mandelcorn accordingly consulted Mother Mandelcorn. Their Rose was to be clipped from the parental stem. It was up to the Mandelcorn family to make it a noteworthy event.
"Judge Wallace!" said Father Mandelcorn.
"He is a hard and cruel man," said Mother Mandelcorn.
"He has had me indicted by his grand jury because I did not keep the Christian Sabbath, I know," admitted Father Mandelcorn, "but we shall now heap coals of fire upon his head. We shall invite him to the wedding of our daughter, to the marriage of our Rose."
So, he was invited; the guests were assembled, the feast was spread, the marriage cup was filled; he came. Rabbi S. J. Shapiro read the ceremony and the father gave away the bride. Then after she had been kissed by kinsmen and guests, the marriage cup was passed. It was brimming with wine, and when it reached Judge Wallace he refused to drink.
To refuse to drink form a Jewish wedding cup when offered is an insult to bride and parents and groom. If Judge Wallace didn't know it before he shortly found it out form the clouded countenances which hedged him like the threat of a storm. Then he made his plea of anohter engagement and departed.
There was some gloom and considerable heat among the crowd which gathered around the festal board. J. R. Shapiro arose to make a speech, in which he scored Judge Wallace and his political ambitions.
Shapiro said that this reform wave of the judge's was merely a business move. He illustrated in this way: "When my business is run down and my shop becomes unattractive, I start out in a new way to boom the business and I paint my shop a new color and put out new signs. When Judge Wallace ran for congress some time ago, he lost the race. This time, he has come out with a new platform, one which he has built from this make-believe reforom of his. This is his way of booming business and painting his shop and putting out new signs."
Dr. Miller and wife left on an early train for a tour of the Southern states, after which the couple will go to Nashville, Tenn., which is to be their home. The bride was the recipient of many handsome gifts.Labels: grocers, Harrison street, Independence avenue, Judge Wallace, ministers, wedding January 31, 1908 MARKED HIM WITH WET CHALK.
An Independence Bridegroom Bears Away Brands of the Cutups.
Walter Erickson of Independence, bridegroom, lost a third of his temper at the Union depot last night when the cutups marked with chalk on the back of his black overcoat.
"I don't mind their marking me," he said, "but they wet the chalk and I shall never be able to brush the marks off."
The bride was Miss Mabel Warnky, daughter of F. C. Warnky of 2424 Wabash avenue. The wedding was at the Warnky home. The couple went to Chicago last night and will ramble East from there during their honeymoon.Labels: Chicago, Independence, Union depot, Wabash avenue, wedding January 12, 1908 WHEELED HIS BRIDE IN CHAIR.
Brannan Was the Name of Both, and She'd Hurt Her Knee.
John W. Brannan, a middle aged man from Lamar, Mo., came wheeling a young woman in an invalid's chair into the recorder's office yesterday and asked for a marriage license. The woman was Miss Lizzetta Brannan of Springfield, Ill. They were married in the office by Justice Festus C. Miller. Before the groom wheeled his bride away to the Union depot, where they took a train for a honeymoon in Mexico, the clerks in the office were able to get a little information out of him.
He and the bride are no kin, and have never been married previously, although they both have the name of Brannan. The woman is not a confirmed invalid, but fell and hurt one of her knees a few weeks ago. They had been engaged several months and the groom did not want to postpone the wedding, he said, on account of a "little injury to the girl."Labels: wedding January 6, 1908 CHARIVARI STOPS CARS.
Riot Call Follows Wedding at the Progressive Club.
When Mrs. Lena Gladstone and Julius Varshavsky set last night as the date for their marriage, they thought that none of their friends knew anything about it. But somewhere and somehow the secret had leaked out and friends of both people were waiting for the time to come so that they might have a charivari party and, perchance, some refreshments. Mrs. Gladstone lived at 221 East Nineteenth street and most of the party of rice throwers thought that the wedding would surely take place at the home of the bride. Consequently at 7 o'clock last night Nineteenth street was crowded with more than 500 noise-making individuals. The cars on Nineteenth street were lined up for more than a block away because the mob in front of the McClure flats refused to get out of the streets.
The car crews sent in a riot call to the police in order that the crowd might be dispersed.
After the cars had passed the mob began to surge back into the street and to show signs of violence. They insisted that they get a treat of some sort. Charles Gidinsky, a druggist at Nineteenth street and Grand avenue, scattered twenty pounds of candy in their midst.
Meanwhile 150 friends of the couple had found out that the wedding was taking place in the Young Men's Progressive Club rooms at Seventeenth and Locust streets, and rushed to that building. The groom walked out upon the porch to make a speech. He was greeted by a storm of rice and old shoes and his voice was drowned by the noise of horns. He hastily ran back indoors and telephoned the police. This time the police were in earnest and soon broke up the charivary party.Labels: druggists, Grand avenue, Locust street, Nineteenth street, police, Seventeenth street, streetcar, wedding October 20, 1907
THEY WERE SO VERY BASHFUL.
Professor and Student Didn't Want to Be Seen Getting Married.
Cleo Claudius Duke, a young professor, and Bertha Chandler, a student in Monmouth college, Monmouth, Ill, came to Kansas City yesterday and were married in the courthouse by Judge George J. Dodd. The young couple, for the groom is but 26, and the birde 20, tried to keep the conclusion of their romance a secret and insisted that everyone, including the marriage license clerk, leave the recorder's office during the ceremony.
"These bashful people," mused Fred Chambers, chief deputy recorder, while he waited outside the door, "remind me of a bride who made us all move out one day last month to alow her to change her dress. She had purchased a new gown to be married in and brought it wht her in a suit case. Even the groom had to get out of the office while she put it on. And when she stod up to have the judge pronounce the ceremony the basting threads, which she had forgotten to pick out of the skirt, showed quite plainly."Labels: courthouse, Judges, visitors, wedding September 12, 1907 GUESTS IN ALARM.
ROWDIES INVADE A GILLHAM ROAD WEDDING PARTY. TURNED ON GARDEN HOSE.
DRENCH THE COSTUMES OF SOME OF THE GUESTS.
Made Deafening Noises With Bells and Pans and Demolished Veran- da Furniture -- Would Not De- sist Until Frightened Off by Approach of Police.
Two policemen and a patrol wagon were required to quell a miniature riot incidental to a charivari after a wedding at 2716 Gillham road last night. The police were summoned after a gang of hoodlums had smashed furniture and deluged with water the house in which the bridal party was holding an informal reception.
The boisterous charivari followed the wedding of Herman Hampel, of San Francisco, to Miss Edna Spengler, which had been celebrated earlier in the evening at St. John's Lutheran church by Rev. Ernst Schulz. From the church the wedding paty had gone to the home of the bride's father, Carl Spengler, Jr., 2716 Gillham road, where an informal reception was to be held. The house was thronged with guests, among them many women gowned in expensive toilets. Everything went merrily until about 9:30 o'clock.
HOODLUMS CREATE UPROAR.
Then a crowd of boys and young men who had not been invited to the wedding and reception appeared and began a charivari. It was said that the "serenaders" were composed largely of a number of young toughs known to police as the "Holmes street gang." They carried bells and tin pans, with which they created an uproar that drove many of the guests inside the house and aroused the neighbors for blocks. It is presumed their intentions were to keep up the disturbance until they were invited inside. When, after several moments, their importunities were not heeded, they adoped more boisterous tactics. They swarmed upon the front veranda, overturning and breaking a number of chairs and settes placed there for the accommodation of the guests. Then they secured some garden hose, attached it to a hydrant and played a stream of water upon the veranda and in the hallways of the house. A number of the celebrants who happened in the reach of the stream were thoroughly drenched.
CALLS SENT FOR POLICE.
When the rioters first became boisterous, the Walnut street police station was notified and Lieutenant Morley dispatched Patrolman A. N. Metzinger to the scene. Upon a second call a patrol wagon was ordered out. The charivari party learned that the police were coming, however, and dispersed before arrests could be made.
BRIDE WAS UNDISTURBED.
The bride was not at all disconcerted at the untoward incident. She received the congratulations of her friends undisturbed through the turmoil. Beyond a little annoyance while the charivari was at its height, the reception proceeded as merrily as if nothing unusual had happened.
The bride is the daughter of Carl Spengler, a local manager for the Dick & Company Brewing Association, of Quincy, Ill. her husband is an influenctial young business man in California. Their wedding was considered an important social event in German circles, and the annoyance at the reception was deeply deplored by many of their friends.Labels: children, churches, Gillham road, Holmes street, marriage, ministers, police, pranks, Walnut street police station, wedding September 3, 1907 SO SHE COULD WED.
DAUGHTER HASTENED FUNERAL OF HER MOTHER.
DID NOT WAIT FOR PRIEST. MARRIED SOON AFTER LEAVING THE CEMETERY.
John Dugan, Recently Divorced, Ar- rested After His Wedding With Margaret Delougherty -- It Is Claimed Woman Is of Unsound Mind.
The priest who administered the last spiritual advices to Mrs. Catherine Delougherty, of No. 1208 Guinotte street, missed her funeral yesterday morning because Marguerite Delogherty, daughter of the dead woman, was in such a hurry to get married that she had the ceremony advanced a half hour and the sexton had thrown the sod over the coffin before the holy man arrived. Friends of Mrs. Delougherty during her lifetime were astonished when they went to the house at the appointed hour, and later drove hurriedly to St. Mary's cemetery, only to find the grave filled in and the cemetery officials in charge.
"Miss Delougherty drove to the county court house," the sexton told the belated mourners, "at least that is the address her escort gave to the driver."
CARRIAGE FOLLOWS FUNERAL.
The Delougherty funeral was set for 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Delougherty, 71 years old, had died Saturday night, but no wake had yet been held. The dead woman owned a large amount of real estate and was reputed to have a large sum of ready money in the bank.
Marguerite Delougherty is 35. For several months John Dugan, a switchman, employed by the Missouri Pacific railway, had boarded at the Delougherty home. Three months ago his wife, who was but 25, secured a divorce.
Yesterday morning, for a reason unknown at the time, Miss Delougherty gave orders for the funeral procession to leave the house at 9:30 o'clock. She rode in a carriage with neighbors. Dugan occupied a carriage alone in the seat of the procession.
At the grave the few friends who had arrived in time to accompany the body remonstrated with the daughter to await the coming of the priest, but she declared in authoritative manner that his coming did not matter and ordered the sexton to fill up the grave. At this juncture, as the little group of friends looked on bewildered, Dugan advanced and handed Miss Delougherty into his own carriage and told the driver to take them to the court house. The little group of friends sadly departed.
PROCURED A MARRIAGE LICENSE.
A marriage license was at once procured and by the time the priest had arrived at the cemetery, Miss Delougherty was being married to Dugan by the Rev. H. S. Chruch, of No. 328 Park avenue, who had been called to the office of the license clerk while the necessary papers were being filled in and approved.
As the priest turned away from the covered grave the daughter re-entered her carriage at the court house and she and her husband drove toward the Delougherty home. The stopped at several houses and invited their friends to a bridal feast. Before the carriage reached the home a case of beer and a jug of liquor had been taken on.
The presence of negroes mingling with white persons at the marriiage festivities attracted neighborhood attention and soon the information of a carousal at the Delougherty home was telephoned to President E. R. Weeks, of the Humane Society. Here the troubles of the married pair began. For President Weeks had investigated the Delougherty girl before, and had on his desk the opinion of a medical man that she is of unsound mind. On two occasions, President Weeks said, neighbors called his attention to Miss Delougherty's condition, and he later called in Dr. J. F. Sawyer, Fifth street and Lydia avenue, who was the Delougherty family physician. He readily gave his opinion that the girl is not always mentally reasonable.
THE GROOM ARRESTED.
W. H. Gibbens, assistant Humane officer, was dispatched to the Delougherty home, and soon after Patrolman Fitzgerald arrived and placed the bridegroom under arrest. He was locked up for investigation. Today a charge may be placed against, or, at the expiration of twenty-four hours, he must be released.
President Weeks said he may act under the statute which prevents the marriage of one of unsound mind or on the grounds that the probate court should become custodian of the property of the deceased.
J. W. Hogan, an assistant county prosecutor who investigated the arrest, stated that the marriage of an imbecile is not void, but that the marriage may at once be canceled by authorities if the case is proven.
Neighbors of the Deloughertys stated last night that recently the aged woman showed bruised arms and stated to them that she had been beaten. That, they say, was three weeks ago. Immediately, the neighbors state, Mrs. Delougherty was reported ill and that she was never able to leave her bed.
The bride remained last night in her mother's death chamber alone after the arrest of the groom.Labels: cemetery, doctors, Funeral, Humane Society, ministers, Park avenue, race, romance, wedding August 26, 1907 CAME FROM AFAR TO WEDDING.
Morris Goldasky Journeys From Africa to Sister's Marriage.
A. J. Bergman and Miss Alice Goldasky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Soloman Goldasky, of Elmdale station, were married last night at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Bernard Millman, 220 East Fifth street. Rabbi Lieberman officiated. A brother of the bride, Morris Goldasky, a mining expert of South Africa, who had not been home in years, came in time to attend the ceremony. His homecoming was somewhat of a surprise, as he had expressed no intentions of doing so when he wrote to his sister last, and when he appeared on the scene of the wedding no one present suspected that he was any closer to Kansas City than Cape Town. Another brother, Herman Goldasky, of Denver, was also present. Mr. and Mrs. Bergman will be at home at 2113 Olive street after September 1.Labels: Denver, Fifth street, ministers, Olive street, wedding August 7, 1907 AUTO HURTS TWO GIRLS.
Wrecked Popcorn Stand While Hurrying With Guest to Wedding.
An automobile crashing into a popcorn wagon caused the serious injury of two little girls last night. The wrecked popcorn wagon fell on the children, cutting and bruising them.
Thomas J. Proue, a chauffeur for the Automobile Livery, 1113 Broadway, was driving to a wedding at Twenty-ninth street and Prospect avenue, Eastbound on Eighteenth street approaching Cherry, he met a sprinkling wagon. A little girl, while at play ran into the spray back of the wagon. The motor car slowed down, but when opposite the wagon the child darted back in its path. Proue swerved his machine south into Cherry street, but to save the child, the turn had to be too shortto avoid smashing the popcorn wagon.
John Carle, the wagon's owner, went down under the shattered glass of his little cage, and escaped without injury. But two little girls, Annie and Jenny Myerson, of 1723 Oak street, were not so fortunate. Annie, 8 years old, received a deep cut over the left eye and serious bruises. Jennie, two years older, was also seriously bruised.
Dr. G. A. Dagg, ambulance surgeon from No. 4 police station, attended them and sent them to their home. Proue, the chauffeur, waited at the scene of the accident till Officers Smith and Cook arrived with the ambulance, and then drove with the officers to the station. He was later released on $100 bond for his appearance in police court this morning.
The accident occurred at 8:15 o'clock, and many people were on the streets. When the popcorn and peanuts of the Italian vender were scattered over the ground there was a "help yourself" scramble, with several dozen participants. A. L. Morse, who was personal representative of Francis Murphy, the temperance worker, mounted a box and begged the crowd to stand back and treat the popcorn man as they would like to be treated. His address was received in good spirit, and the crowd helped Carle gather his wares together.Labels: accident, automobiles, Broadway, Cherry street, children, Eighteenth street, No 4 police station, Oak street, Twenty-ninth street, wedding April 11, 1907 "WEDS BROTHER'S WIDOW."
Culmination of the Romance of an Independence Woman.
Three times married, her third husband brother to her first, Mrs. W. Henry Moore is today one of the happiest women in Independence. Her third and last marriage occurred at the bride's home, Idlewild Place, in Independence yesterday evening in the presence of intimate friends and relatives, and with the final words of the marriage ceremony, a romance in real life was consummated.
Several years ago, then a belle of the county seat town, she married W. J. Moore.
Her first marriage was a happy one, especially in its relations with her husband's family, among whom was her present husband, Henry Moore. W. J. Moore died a short time after the wedding, however, and after mourning him a time, she married W. J. McCormick. For several years she had seen nothing of the family of her first husband, but, Mr. McCormick dying soon after, she once more became friendly with them. The renewal of acquaintances of other days awoke old sentiments, and finally Henry Moore offered his hand to his brother's widow and was accepted. The wedding last night was the result.Labels: Independence, wedding |
