Eugene Lee and Elizabeth Gates Married at Hi-Lee by Orfordville Minister

As pretty and colorful a wedding probably as ever occurred in the Cambridge vicinity took place last Sunday afternoon in the rustic garden at Hi-Lee, the Lake Ripley home of Mr. And Mrs. Edward Edson Lee, when their son, Eugene, and Miss Elizabeth Gates, eldest daughter of Mrs. Marcia Gates of Cambridge, were united in marriage by the Rev. C. A. Tuttle of Orfordville.

With the few close friends and relatives of the happy young couple assembled in the shady garden, before a bower of ivy and gladiolus, with added baskets of the same flowers in shades of pink in the foreground and with the garden's natural great ferns and tinkling fountain in the background, there came, after an impressive hush, at the hour of four, the strains of that beautiful song—Because God made thee mine, I'll cherish you."It was the rich tenor voice of our old friend, Mr. E. D. Brown, now of Madison, who, during the time of his leadership in our high school, had watched with interest many budding young romances there, never suspecting through that the romance of this your couple would lead to this final memorable climax.

As Mr. Brown began his second number, "Faithful and True,"there came from the lakeshore cottage out across the wide green lawn the elderly uncle of the groom's mother, the Rev. C. A. Tuttle, followed closely by the groom and his attendant, Mr. John Voss, Jr., of Beloit, himself recently married and an old schoolmate of the groom.  Both wore white flannels and dark blue matching coats, the groom with white and the best man with blue boutonnieres.

The song continued as the bride's attendant, the younger sister Katherine, then appeared in the procession, very beautiful in pink mousseline do soie, and wearing a coronet of tiny pink roses and blue bachelor buttons.

Then came little Ann Hamlin of Rockford, Ill., a second cousin of the bride, who as flower girl made a very pretty picture indeed in blue dotted swiss, with her basket full of rare old Colonial blooms.

But most beautiful of all in the procession was finally the bride herself, in white satin with shoulder veil, in her arms a bouquet of white Kalarny roses and mist, accompanied by her uncle, Mr. John Porter of Cambridge.

Following the impressive ceremony and the usual congratulations, the guest adjourned to the cottage porches where a delightful lunch provided by the bride's parents was served by her two cousins, Miss. Eleanor Amundson and Miss. Margorie Krippner.

Later the happy young couple left in their car for a wedding trip through the northern part of the state. Bother attended school extensively in Cambridge, graduating together with the class of 1930, the bride later taking up the study of nursing, graduating in 1934 from the Milwaukee Hospital of Nursing. During the past two years she has been employed on the staff of the Wausau Memorial Hospital. The groom, following his graduation here, attended school in Madison and Beloit, and now is employed in the engineering department of the Barnes Drill Company, Rockford. Fort the present they will reside with the groom’s grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Tuttle of Beloit. It was the Rev. Tuttle who earlier had married the groom's parents, later christening the groom himself at the home of his Beloit grandparents.

Much credit for the beautiful arrangement of the profusion of flowers both in the bower where the ceremony was performed and in the cottage, together with the arrangement of the tables, was due to Mrs. Harriet Halbert. The newly married couple received many beautiful and useful gifts.

A Tuttle, Orfordville, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Porter and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hamlin and daughter Ann, Rockford, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Brown, Madison, Mr. Elmer Boehme and Miss Valeria Huebner, Wausau and Denton Fry, Fort Atkinson.
