The Hesperian clips the following from
The Church Record: "A very quiet, but
none the less happy wedding took place since
the last issue of The Record. Mr. Lucius
A. Bumstead, of the firm of Paine, Warfel
& Bumstead, and Miss Julia H., eldest
daughter of Deacon and Mrs. A. S. Pres
cott, were married at the homo of the bride,
1605 E street, Wednesday, August 21st, at
noon. The ceremony was preformed by
Rev. 0. A. Williams, of Minneapolis, Minn.,
and the couple left the same afternoon for a
trip to Chicago. Although not entirely un
expected, the wedding was a surprise to
many outside the circle of immediate friends.
Only relatives and a few invired guests were
present and it was simple and unostentatious
in the extreme. This is the kind of wed
ding, you know, in which the whole church
takes nn active interest. It's progress and
proceeding developments liave been watched
very carefully, 1 dare say, by many friends,
and it is a positive pleasure to see such
earnest workers who have grown up among
us, united for life, for mutual helpfulness
and greatest happiness,"
Miss Prescott was one of the brightest
members of the class of '97, and Mr. Bum
stead is known to most Uni. boys as ono'of
the genial -proprietors of Paine, Warfdl &
Bumstead, the clothiers.
