THEIR WEDDING DAY
In Chicago To-day A. S. Pierce Marries The Lady Of His Choice To-day at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago, occurs the marriage of A. S. Pierce, of this city and Miss Clara Severson, of Denver, Col. The story of their courtship is a romantic one and tense account of their meeting and the events which were instrumental in weaving about their lives Cupid's magic spell, is given in the Denver Republican, and which will Much interest and no little surprise was felt yesterday by many Denver people when the morning mail brought invitations to a wedding that is to be solemnized Feb. 4 in Chicago. Miss Clara P. Severson an attractive young woman who for the last four years has been a trained nurse of this city will be the bride and she is to marry Anson S. Pierce of Rhinelander, Wis.
That Miss Severson has for a number of years been entirely dependant on her own efforts for her livehood, and that her fiancé is a millionaire, member of one of the largest lumber firms of Wisconsin, makes the marriage an unusual one if it is true that the old world custom of dots has become the vogue in this country.
Miss Severson and Mr. Pierce met for the first time last April. He had been in the mountains looking after some mining interests and was taken ill with typhoid fever. He was brought to Denver and on securing apartments at the Adams hotel a physician and a nurse were called. Miss Severson was given the case and in three weeks nursed her patient back to his usual splendid health. Night and day she cared for Mr. Pierce though the case was an easy one, owing to the lightness of the attack of fever and the strong constitution of the man. The he went away.
She never expected to see him again, explained Miss Severson last night. But he wrote when he returned home and he wrote again and finally we corresponded regularly. He is a very entertaining man and writes delightful letters. Early in December I received word he was coming to Denver. He came and in few days I promised to marry him. He wanted me to marry then. The bride has a modest but very pretty trousseau made for her marriage and her only regret is that she will have no friends at the wedding. Her father is an invalid her sister is a school teacher and cannot leave her duties at this time.
"One reason I said the marriage should take place in Chicago was that I thought I might thereby escape all notoriety for of course I realized that for a girl without money to marry a man of Mr. Pierce's wealth, would arouse more or less interest, but it seems the newspapers have learned all about it just the same."
Mr. Pierce is about 40 years old and was supposedly a confirmed bachelor. Miss Severson will leave Denver tomorrow night for Chicago. She will be a guest of the groom's sister in a Chicago suburb until the wedding, which will take place at the Grand Pacific hotel Rev. A. G. Wilson an old friend of the groom, performing the ceremony. The Rhinelander paper in a recent issue, announced the marriage and spoke of Mr. Pierce as a very popular, prominent and wealthy man.
