Burbank Daily Evening Review, August 26, 191611760
The climax to a romantic story came with a wedding in the Yellowstone National Park, at Ashton, M. E. parsonage, August 7th, when Miss Catherine T. Hornby and Corporal C. D. McLaughlin were married. A wedding luncheon was served in one of nature's leafy bowers, the music furnished by the songsters of the forest. The presents, both useful and ornamental included a tent and furnishings, from friends at one of the camps; from another many things for household needs; from officers, real "golden eagles," from privates shining "eagles" too, and "fives"—with royal best wishes from all.
Miss Catherine is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hornby of Burbank, Cal. Her two years passed at Pomona College did not lessen her love for the romantic. Thus she went into the northland—
"To that land of nature's wonders. Wondrous geysers striving upwards,
Mighty mountains, mighty forests.
Mighty land that led the pathway
To the gateway of the rockies,
To sublime and awful grandeur.
Here where none my dare to hinder,
Feeds the wild deer of the forest;
Feeds the elk and feeds the bison,
Feeds, and fears not horn or hunter.
Here the black bear sniffs the odors
Of the campfire safe and guarded.
Tempting odors draw him nearer
Not with thot to harm the traveller
Just to satisfy his hunger
With a morsel from their storehouse,
Then he turns back to the wildwood,
To the solitude, the vastness.
So the soul that throbs with passion
For life's great and mighty battles;
Feels the impress of this vastness;
Feels this every striving upward,
All unconscious pours the incense
Of the overflowing spirit,
And our Father Sees and knows it
As we may not see, but wonder.
