Mutes Plight Troth
Couple Wedded at Cedar Falls Yesterday Afternoon
Cedar Falls, April 9, - The marriage of Mrs. Ada Mathews and Mr. Charles M. Dorn at the home of the bride, near 12th and Normal. Wednesday night was an occasion of much interest to the large company that gathered to witness the interesting ceremony. Both of the parties to the happy transaction are deaf mutes, graduates of the College for the Deaf at Council Bluffs, and Rev. J.J. Middleton, himself a deaf mute, performed the ceremony in the sign language in the presence of a large company of friends and relatives of the contracting parties. For the benefit of those present who do not understand the sign language, Miss Harriet Boster read the ritualistic service of the Methodist church while the officiating clergyman gave it in the language so familiar with the deaf. It was a unique but touching ceremony and in their quiet fervor the bride and groom pledged their love and fidelity each to the other in language that was all the more touching because of its pathos.
