Lee-Cartwright Wedding

Leon, Iowa area, 1901

Wednesday evening, February 13, was an ideal beginning for a bright February eve, and its sunshine was in harmony with the spirits of the joyous company of 40 intimate friends, who assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Cartwright to witness the marriage of their lovely and accomplished daughter Carrie, to Mr. Wm. Lee, of Denver, Col. At 7 p. m. the notes of the wedding march filled the room, played by Mrs. L. Richson, the bridal party marched gracefully into the parlor,and were united in marriage by the Rev. Geo. Hughes, repeating the impressive Episcopal ring service. Mr. and Mrs. Lee received the congratulations of those assembled, and then they led the way to the dinning room, where an elegant dinner was prepared by Mrs. Cartwright. The tables were arranged in a hollow square, the bride and groom occupying the seats of honor.

The bride is so well known and so generally a favorite, as to need no words of introduction. She will be sadly missed in our midst. She was arrayed in an elegant robe of crepe and satin, cream colored, arranged with square neck, trimmed with cream lace with slippers to match. Her only ornament was a beautiful diamond ring, a wedding present from the groom.

The groom is an employe of the C. R. I. & P. R. R. and is a young man of the highest moral character, and first-class business ability. He was dressed in a cut-a-way suit of black broadcloth and presented a handsome appearance.

The bridesmaid, the groom's sister, Miss Maud Lee was arrayed in a black satin gown with pink trimmings with pink shoulder mitts and slippers.

Mr. Frank Mendenhall acted as best man, dressed in the convenient black suit.

They received many useful and beautiful presents.

The young people will visit here until March 10, when they will go to their new home at 1113 Larimer St., Denver, Col., where they will be "at home" to their friends after March 15. The congratulations and best wishes go with them from all the public.
