Miss Ruth Stainbrook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stainbrook, and Mr. Maurice Nelson, both widely-known and most popular young people of this city, were married Wednesday (St. Valentine’s Day) at the home of the bride’s parents by Dr. J. P. Green, pastor of the Presbyterian church. On account of the serious illness of the bride’s mother, the wedding was entirely private. The bride is one of the especially esteemed and admired young ladies of the city, whose friends are limited only by those who know her. Mr. Nelson is one of the prominent young men of the city and a prosperous contractor. A neat home has just been built for Mr. and Mrs. Nelson on Morton avenue which they will occupy after March 1st, as stated in the announcement cards which have been sent out. This wedding was celebrated under especially trying conditions. The mother of the bride has been most seriously ill for some weeks, and it had been the preference of the young people to defer the wedding until the result of the mother’s illness was known. But it had been Mrs. Stainbrook’s special request that the wedding should not be deferred, and expressed the wish that the wedding should occur while she was yet living, and it was at her bedside that the ceremony was performed. Mrs. Stainbrook, at last reports was still very low, and the physicians hold out only the faintest hope that she may recover. This is an instance where both sympathy and congratulations go together and to the young people the Beacon and all their many other friends extend their sincerest and most earnest well wishes for their happiness, prosperity and long life, at the same time expressing to the family their deep sympathy in the sorrow which rests upon the household.

Matagorda, Texas, June 20.―Nearly an hour before the appointed time for the Norwood-Gove wedding Tuesday morning the seats of the Methodist Church rapidly filled with friends of the interested parties, to witness the ceremony. Mr. Calvin Baker, the usher, conducted the people to their seats in a very orderly way, avoiding all confusion. A few moments after 11 o’clock the groom, Mr. Olive Osborn Norwood of Austin, and Miss Calie Gove of this city, the bride, entered the church aisle to the sweet stains of the wedding march played by Mrs. A. M. Whitman of Glen Flora. The day previous friends of the bride had put the church in order for the occasion, using potted ferns and cut flowers to adorn the altar and organ while the bride and groom stood directly under garlands of evergreen tied with long white streamers. The bride was mighty pretty in her become traveling suit of tan and white with accessories and the groom also dressed for traveling was handsome in his wedding suit. Rev Granville Storey of Bay City met them at the altar and in a few beautiful chosen words soon pronounced them man and wife. Retracing their steps down the aisle which the bride had entered many times before both for Sunday school and church services, they entered their car and left immediately for Houston, Galveston and other places of interest, after which they will go to their home at Austin where they will remain until Mr. Norwood is called for army services. The groom is a native of Austin and has been in the mercantile business until recently. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Gove and was reared in Matagorda and by her charming personality has made for herself a wide circle of friends. At the age of 16 she graduated from the Matagorda high school and from that time has made teaching her vocation and it was in this capacity that she met and learned to love her husband in interior Texas some time ago and as the love was mutual he gave her no rest until she promised to become “all his own” and now as they embark on the matrimonial sea the very heartiest good wishes of their many warm friends here and elsewhere follow them. Those out-of-town attending the wedding were Mrs. A. M. Whitman and little girl, Miss Jessie Miller and Mr. R. V. Pond of Glen Flora.
