CALLED TO NURSE, WEDDING FOLLOWS -
Oakland Girl Wins Life Partner While Caring For Sick Brother of the Man Who is
to Marry Her
MARYSVILLE August 25 – A wedding which will partake of the features of the
English ceremony, wherein the nuptial knot is tied twice for the purpose of
satisfying the decree of State and Church, will be the union of John J. WEBBER,
a well-known farmer of this section, and Miss Elizabeth NORDEN, of Oakland, to
be solemnized at the last named place on the 5th proximo. There is the
difference in the approaching event, however, that the double ceremony is to be
performed to meet the divergent religious standing of the parties of the
contract.
The ceremony will go even further than the English kind, for beside the two
tyings of the knot there will be a grand reception, following the second
ceremony. The first ceremony will be in accordance with the rites of the Roman
Catholic Church, of which body WEBER and all his relatives are staunch members.
Then when the Catholic presbytery is left, the parties will proceed to the Union
Street Presbyterian Church, where a church wedding will be held, after the
customs of that creed. Then will follow a reception at the home of the bride
S aunt, opposite the church office, to which a large number of invitations have
been issued.
It is stated that the young couple will receive among their wedding gifts a deed
to an Oakland home, the gift of Miss Norden’s aunt. The honeymoon will be spent
in Oregon and Washington. The groom-elect owns a valuable tract of land in
Sutter County.
There is a tinge of romance in connection with the affair. Miss Norden two years
ago had an idea, when she was summoned to Sutter County from San Francisco in
the capacity of trained nurse, that she would meet her life partner in this neck
of the woods. But at his brother’s home, John Weber met the attractive young
woman, and there a friendship sprang up which soon took on a more serious phase.
Whether or not this led to Miss Norden permanently locating in this field cannot
be stated authoritatively. At any rate, the match is made and all that now
remains is the tying of the aforesaid knots.

Wheatland painter named Fred DOWANE caused the arrest at an early hour this
morning of James FLOOD, Thomas McINTYRE and Evan J. DAVIS, three hoboes. DOWANE,

about $50 near the woolen mills, he having picked up with them earlier in the
night. He says they choked him almost into insensibility before they got the
money from him. The amount of coin which DOWANE says he lost was found on DAVIS,
