A large number were present at the church, and many of the personal friends of the bride and groom subsequently assembled at the residence of the bride’s parents and participated in the interchange of kindly sentiments with hearty wishes for the happiness of the young couple. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and costly presents from her relatives and friends, while the friends of the bridegroom at the Mare Island Navy Yard sent him some momentos made from the “Kearsage” wood in token of Auld Lang Syne. The newly wedded couple departed for San Francisco where the honeymoon will be spent.

• Robbed A Residence

Thief Gained Entrance by Saying He Was an Electrician

Daniel Morris, said to be a recent arrival from Detroit, is in the City Prison with a charge of burglary opposite his name. He is a well-dressed, smooth-shaved young fellow of about 20 years, and when he called yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Eckert [sic], president of the Sorosis Club, at 3014 Clay street, and said he was an electrician sent to test and examine the wires in the house he was admitted. He had with him a canvas bag, apparently containing tools, and after he had made a cursory examination of the apparatus he left, but it was noticed that the contents of the canvass bag were more bulky than when he came. A hurried investigation revealed the fact that an electrical tape machine valued at about was missing. The police at the O’Farrell-street Station were notified, and Policeman Joseph Feld found Morris on Broderick street with the bag and contents in his possession. He was paraded before the detective force last night, but none had ever seen him before.

• Hosted Thanksgiving Dinner, 1921, at 3014 Clay St., San Francisco.

• [to] Harriet Louise Eckart from her Grandmother Harriet Louise Eckart

The splendid types of little women depicted in this book are often met with in life. You have become so well acquainted with them through reading of them that they are like friends to you, and have helped you to learn the value of true friendship. –

A true friend is an inspiration as well as a comfort, not so much by what he does for us as by what he incites us to do and to be, because of his example, his deeds, and his ideals. May this book prove to be such a friend to you.
