Pretty Marriage Ceremony at Residence of Bride Last Evening

(From Thursday's Daily)

At the home of the bride's parents last evening in the presence of about 75 guests were married Miss Rosa Haley and Mr. Elmer Carkhuff of Mont Rose, Colorado, Rev. W. C. Coleman officiating. Preceding the ceremony Fern Ramsey sang "Rose of My Life;" Miss Edith Cormack played Lohengrin's wedding march. Miss Harriet Shockey carried the ring. The bride wore white French lawn and carried bride's roses.

Following the ceremony came a bounteous wedding supper and the well deserved congratulations. Many beautiful presents were received. The bride is one of Abilene's sweetest girls and has been prominent in church circles. The groom was formerly of this city but is now a prosperous farmer and businessman of Mont Rose where they will reside. They left for their new home on the evening train and a host of friends wish them joy.

BROTHERS IN HOSPITAL

J. Elmer and Wilbur N. Carkhuff, the former the well known ranchman living southwest of the city, and the latter the popular carrier on Rural Route No. 1, are occupying berths at the Montrose hospital this week, recuperating from surgical operations. They are reported doing nicely under the circumstances.

Wilbur had rather an unpleasant experience on Christmas day. Mrs. Carkhuff and the baby had gone up to Uncompahgre to spend the day with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Tagg. In the afternoon Mr. Carkhuff became quite ill. He got word to Mrs. Carkhuff, but it was too late for the train, and the horses on the place were all somewhere else, so it was quite a long time before conveyance could be had for her to come down. In the meantime Mr. Carkhuff was suffering terribly, and as there was no telephone in the house he had to simply "grin and bear it." The operation was performed as soon as possible after the return of Mrs. Carkhuff.
