On Wednesday evening there gathered at the Windsor Hotel about forty guests to witness the marriage of Miss Katherine Cook, youngest daughter of Mrs. J. H. Cook, to Mr. Simon Winfred Gregg of Tulsa, I. T. (Indian Territory)

In the parlor, at seven-thirty, Mr. J. Whitney Eby, a former classmate and friend of the bride sang "Dearie," with Mrs. Jas. A. Jackson at the piano; after which she played the Wedding March when Master Albert Swartwood and Miss Mary Momma, in their beautiful white satin suits to which they so recently presided as King and Queen of the children's flower parade at the street fair, carrying white ribbons forming as aisle down which the wedding party passed; they were followed by Miss Ruth Smith, in white over pink, as ring bearer, and Mr. Jonas DeVore, nephew of the bride; accompanied by Miss Mable Thompson, who stood with the bridal pair during the ceremony, after whom came Miss Katherine and Mr. Gregg.

The brides dress was of sheer white material and she wore a veil and carried many white roses.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. E. Deggendorf of the Presbyterian Church.

Immediately after, the guests were seated in the dining room, at fine tables decorated with pink carnations and ferns, to partake of the wedding supper; there were four courses, at the close of which the bride's cake was passed, each guest cutting a piece for himself.

The bride and groom slipped away and were soon dressed for their journey upon which they at once started, waving a gay farewell to all.

Mr. Gregg was formerly in charge of a store here and our people became acquainted with him at that time; he now travels in the employ of the Smith-McCord-Townsend Co., of Kansas City.  Mrs. Gregg has lived among us nearly all her life, has been prominent in society and church affairs, and for several years was teacher of the primary department of the Howard Schools, where she was eminently successful.

Many beautiful gifts were sent to honor of this event, of cut glass, hand painted china, art, needlework, linens and silver.

After January first, Mr. and Mrs. Gregg will be at home at Tulsa, I. T. (Indian Territory) where their many friends wish them a future full of good things.
