Ceremony Will Be Held at St.
Francis' Catholic Church, Rev.
D. W. Lynch Officiating
Of all the nuptial events during thhe past year the one announced yesterday at St. Francis' Catholic Church is perhaps the most interesting, not alone on account of the popularity of the contracting parties among the populace of Brainerd, but also on account of their wide acquaintance in other places and their connection with various orders and societies. The young people referred to are Mr. Henry P. Dunn and Miss Sadie Reilly.
The event is set for Wednesday morning, June 29, at the St. France Catholic Church in this city, the Rev. D. W. Lynch officiating.
It will be one of the very happiest of June weddings and the young people are receiving the congratulations of their many friends in advance.
Miss Sadie Reilly, the bride-to-be, is one of Brainerd's most popular ladies and has lived here for a major portion of her life. She has been closely affiliated with some of the leading societies in the city, particularly the ladies' auxiliary of the A. O. H. and the women's C. O. F. She is at present one of the board of managers of the national organization of the women's auxiliary to the C. O. F. She is the daughter of Mr. T. Reilly, an old and respected resident of this city. Miss Reilly is very popular with all classes in the city.
Mr. H. P. Dunn, well, what is there that can be said that has not already been said about him? Mr. Dunn, and it may be said without the slightest blending of the truth with exaggeration, is the most popular man in the city today and that is saying a good deal. He has been a resident off Brainerd for something like eight years, first coming here to work as a clerk in a drug store. He finally bought out M. K. Swartz' old store and since then the H. P. Dunn & Co. emporium has been one of the most popular places in the city.
The DISPATCH joins with a large circle of friends in extending congratulations in advance. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 20 June 1904, p. 6)
Mrs. M. J. Reilly will give a Japanese porch tea in honor of Miss Sadie Reilly, this evening, and the affair will be one of the most unique given in some time. Waiters in Japanese costumes will serve tea and rice and other dishes known to the Japanese. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 23 June 1904, p. 3)

Leave for Wedding Trip
A pretty June wedding was the one which occurred this morning at 9 o'clock at the St. Francis Catholic church, when Mr. Henry Paul Dunn and Miss Sadie Reilly were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Rev. Father D. W. Lynch officiating. The morning, after the showers of yesterday, was bright and clear and all nature seemed to vie in the effort to make the event attractive and beautiful, and if there is good fortune in the old saw, "Happy is the bride the sun shown on" then this bride will be thrice blessed.
Long before thhe hour of the ceremony at the church, people thronged to the edifice and when the bridal party arrived, every seat in the spacious building was occupied. No invitations had been extended but all friends of the couple were made welcome at the church and it may truthfully be said that no two young people in the city have more friends than this happy bride and groom. The ushers, Messrs. W. S. Cox, W. H. Koop, John Cullen, and E. J. Donahue were busy seating the vast throng up to the time the ceremony was commenced and many were turned away for want of a place to seat them.
Many friends and relatives of the couple, including a number from out of the city, were ushered to seats reserved closest to the chancel.
Every arrangement, through conventional, was most delicately carried out. The arrangements were somewhat different from the ordinary events. The bride's father, Mr. T. M. Reilly, occupied the seat of honor and was ushered down with his daughter-in-law, Mrs. P. M. Reilly, of Missoula, Mont. As the processional was played the outer doors were opened and the bridal party appeared, being led down the center aisle by the ushers. First came the bride, leaning on the arm of Dr. J. L. Frederick, the best man. They were followed by Mr. Dunn, the bridegroom with Miss Mayme Reilly, sister of the bride who was maid of honor. They marched slowly toward the altar to the beautiful strains of Lohengrin's wedding march. At the chancel the ushers stepped to each side of the aisle and the bride and groom with their attendants passed toward the altar where they met by Rev. Father Lynch who was the celebrant. The vows said, the two couples reversed their positions and the bride came down from the altar on the arm of the bridegroom.
The bride looked lovely in a gown made of silk Persian lawn, trimmed with real lace. She wore a white picture that and carried a shower of bridal roses. The maid of honor, Miss Mayme Reilly, wore a gown made of figured liberty crepe and a pink picture hat and looked charming.
Mrs. J. P. Early presided at the organ and during the ceremony rendered Mallard's Mass in G. Miss Caroline Morrison rendered, "O, Promise Me."
Those who occupied seats reserved for them were: Mr. T. M. Reilly, Mrs. P. M. Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Reilly, Misses Kitty and Vivian Reilly, Misses Dell and Nellie Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Loftus, Mr. Will McGinnis, Dr. and Mrs. Werner Hemstead, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McGinnis, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Meekins. Mrs. Agnes Murphy and daughter, Madeline, Mrs. Sarah Whalen, Miss Mamie McNevin, Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, Miss Agnes McCarthy, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Dunn and children, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Linneman, Mrs. Julia K. McFadden, Dr. J. L. Camp, Dr. O. T. Batcheller, Dr. D. M. McDonald, Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Thabes, Mr. and Mrs. M. Cullen, Mr. C. C. Kyle, Mr. Frank G. Hall and Mr. F. H. Poetz.
The out of town guests were: Mrs. P. M. Reilly, Missoula; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Loftus, Mr. and Mrs. M. Cullen, Miss Mamie McNevin and Will McGinnis, of Staples; Mrs. Sarah Whalen, of Duluth; Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Dunn and family, of LeRoy.
After the ceremony at the church, the bridal party and a few intimate friends and relatives repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Reilly where the wedding breakfast was served. The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion and the tables were most charmingly arranged. Two long tables were extended, one each way from a round table in the center. At the round table, which was designated as the bride's table, sat the bride and groom and the wedding party. On this table was a large plateau of pink peonies, surmounted by a large bouquet of bridal roses. The end tables were decorated, one in pink peonies and the other in bridesmaid roses. The usual decoration of strings of smilax and fern were also to be seen. It was a very beautifully arranged affair.
Mrs. Reilly was assisted by Mesdames Werner Hemstead, J. F. McGinnis, James Smith, Agnes Murphy and S. R. Adair.
Those who served at the tables were the Misses Kitty Johnson, Dell and Kitty Reilly, Mabel and May O'Brien, Agnes McCarthy and May McNevin.
One of the very pretty pre-nuptial affairs was the reception given by Mrs. Werner Hemstead on Monday afternoon in honor of the bride. The home was decorated in an artistic manner, the library with pink hearts, the dining room with peonies of different colors and there were varied colored tapers about the house.
The following assisted Mrs. Hemstead at the reception: Misses Kitty and Vivian Reilly presided at the punch bowl, and the following young ladies were in the dining room: Misses Winnie Smith, Kitty Johnson, Mabel O'Brien and Kitty Keene.
It would be useless to attempt to review all the good things about Mr. and Mrs. Dunn. They are both very well known here and are popular. The bride is a daughter of Mr. T. M. Reilly, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the city, and sister of M. J. Reilly, the Seventh street merchant. She has made her home in Brainerd for years and all who have met her have learned to admire her good qualities. In Mr. Dunn's makeup is found the persimmons [sic] of manhood and integrity and there is not a man in the city, business, professional or otherwise who has a greater number of friends in this city than he has. He is the popular Front street druggist and has worked himself into the hearts of all. Both the bride and groom come from respected families and the union is considered a decidedly happy one.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunn left this afternoon for Faribault where they will visit with relatives for a short time after which they will take a short eastern trip, returning to Brainerd in about two weeks. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch 29 June 1904, p. 6)

Mr. and Mrs. Dunn will leave after the ceremony for a short eastern trip and expect to be gone about two weeks. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 28 June 1904, p. 6)

A pretty June wedding was the one which occurred this morning at 9 o'clock at the St. Francis Catholic church, when Mr. Henry Paul Dunn and Miss Sadie Reilly were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Rev. Father D. W. Lynch officiating. The morning, after the showers of yesterday, was bright and clear and all nature seemed to vie in the effort to make the event attractive and beautiful, and if there is good fortune in the old saw, "Happy is the bride the sun shown on" then this bride will be thrice blessed.
Long before thhe hour of the ceremony at the church, people thronged to the edifice and when the bridal party arrived, every seat in the spacious building was occupied. No invitations had been extended but all friends of the couple were made welcome at the church and it may truthfully be said that no two young people in the city have more friends than this happy bride and groom. The ushers, Messrs. W. S. Cox, W. H. Koop, John Cullen, and E. J. Donahue were busy seating the vast throng up to the time the ceremony was commenced and many were turned away for want of a place to seat them.
Many friends and relatives of the couple, including a number from out of the city, were ushered to seats reserved closest to the chancel.
Every arrangement, through conventional, was most delicately carried out. The arrangements were somewhat different from the ordinary events. The bride's father, Mr. T. M. Reilly, occupied the seat of honor and was ushered down with his daughter-in-law, Mrs. P. M. Reilly, of Missoula, Mont. As the processional was played the outer doors were opened and the bridal party appeared, being led down the center aisle by the ushers. First came the bride, leaning on the arm of Dr. J. L. Frederick, the best man. They were followed by Mr. Dunn, the bridegroom with Miss Mayme Reilly, sister of the bride who was maid of honor. They marched slowly toward the altar to the beautiful strains of Lohengrin's wedding march. At the chancel the ushers stepped to each side of the aisle and the bride and groom with their attendants passed toward the altar where they met by Rev. Father Lynch who was the celebrant. The vows said, the two couples reversed their positions and the bride came down from the altar on the arm of the bridegroom.
The bride looked lovely in a gown made of silk Persian lawn, trimmed with real lace. She wore a white picture that and carried a shower of bridal roses. The maid of honor, Miss Mayme Reilly, wore a gown made of figured liberty crepe and a pink picture hat and looked charming.
Mrs. J. P. Early presided at the organ and during the ceremony rendered Mallard's Mass in G. Miss Caroline Morrison rendered, "O, Promise Me."
Those who occupied seats reserved for them were: Mr. T. M. Reilly, Mrs. P. M. Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Reilly, Misses Kitty and Vivian Reilly, Misses Dell and Nellie Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Loftus, Mr. Will McGinnis, Dr. and Mrs. Werner Hemstead, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McGinnis, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Meekins. Mrs. Agnes Murphy and daughter, Madeline, Mrs. Sarah Whalen, Miss Mamie McNevin, Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, Miss Agnes McCarthy, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Dunn and children, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Linneman, Mrs. Julia K. McFadden, Dr. J. L. Camp, Dr. O. T. Batcheller, Dr. D. M. McDonald, Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Thabes, Mr. and Mrs. M. Cullen, Mr. C. C. Kyle, Mr. Frank G. Hall and Mr. F. H. Poetz.
The out of town guests were: Mrs. P. M. Reilly, Missoula; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Loftus, Mr. and Mrs. M. Cullen, Miss Mamie McNevin and Will McGinnis, of Staples; Mrs. Sarah Whalen, of Duluth; Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Dunn and family, of LeRoy.
After the ceremony at the church, the bridal party and a few intimate friends and relatives repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Reilly where the wedding breakfast was served. The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion and the tables were most charmingly arranged. Two long tables were extended, one each way from a round table in the center. At the round table, which was designated as the bride's table, sat the bride and groom and the wedding party. On this table was a large plateau of pink peonies, surmounted by a large bouquet of bridal roses. The end tables were decorated, one in pink peonies and the other in bridesmaid roses. The usual decoration of strings of smilax and fern were also to be seen. It was a very beautifully arranged affair.
Mrs. Reilly was assisted by Mesdames Werner Hemstead, J. F. McGinnis, James Smith, Agnes Murphy and S. R. Adair.
Those who served at the tables were the Misses Kitty Johnson, Dell and Kitty Reilly, Mabel and May O'Brien, Agnes McCarthy and May McNevin.
One of the very pretty pre-nuptial affairs was the reception given by Mrs. Werner Hemstead on Monday afternoon in honor of the bride. The home was decorated in an artistic manner, the library with pink hearts, the dining room with peonies of different colors and there were varied colored tapers about the house.
The following assisted Mrs. Hemstead at the reception: Misses Kitty and Vivian Reilly presided at the punch bowl, and the following young ladies were in the dining room: Misses Winnie Smith, Kitty Johnson, Mabel O'Brien and Kitty Keene.
It would be useless to attempt to review all the good things about Mr. and Mrs. Dunn. They are both very well known here and are popular. The bride is a daughter of Mr. T. M. Reilly, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the city, and sister of M. J. Reilly, the Seventh street merchant. She has made her home in Brainerd for years and all who have met her have learned to admire her good qualities. In Mr. Dunn's makeup is found the persimmons [sic] of manhood and integrity and there is not a man in the city, business, professional or otherwise who has a greater number of friends in this city than he has. He is the popular Front street druggist and has worked himself into the hearts of all. Both the bride and groom come from respected families and the union is considered a decidedly happy one.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunn left this afternoon for Faribault where they will visit with relatives for a short time after which they will take a short eastern trip, returning to Brainerd in about two weeks. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch 29 June 1904, p. 6)

Announcement of Approaching
Marriage of Mr. H. P. Dunn
and Miss Sadie Reilly
_____
TO WED ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 29
_____
Ceremony Will Be Held at St.
Francis' Catholic Church, Rev.
D. W. Lynch Officiating
Of all the nuptial events during thhe past year the one announced yesterday at St. Francis' Catholic Church is perhaps the most interesting, not alone on account of the popularity of the contracting parties among the populace of Brainerd, but also on account of their wide acquaintance in other places and their connection with various orders and societies. The young people referred to are Mr. Henry P. Dunn and Miss Sadie Reilly.
The event is set for Wednesday morning, June 29, at the St. France Catholic Church in this city, the Rev. D. W. Lynch officiating.
It will be one of the very happiest of June weddings and the young people are receiving the congratulations of their many friends in advance.
Miss Sadie Reilly, the bride-to-be, is one of Brainerd's most popular ladies and has lived here for a major portion of her life. She has been closely affiliated with some of the leading societies in the city, particularly the ladies' auxiliary of the A. O. H. and the women's C. O. F. She is at present one of the board of managers of the national organization of the women's auxiliary to the C. O. F. She is the daughter of Mr. T. Reilly, an old and respected resident of this city. Miss Reilly is very popular with all classes in the city.
Mr. H. P. Dunn, well, what is there that can be said that has not already been said about him? Mr. Dunn, and it may be said without the slightest blending of the truth with exaggeration, is the most popular man in the city today and that is saying a good deal. He has been a resident off Brainerd for something like eight years, first coming here to work as a clerk in a drug store. He finally bought out M. K. Swartz' old store and since then the H. P. Dunn & Co. emporium has been one of the most popular places in the city.
The DISPATCH joins with a large circle of friends in extending congratulations in advance. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 20 June 1904, p. 6)
Mrs. M. J. Reilly will give a Japanese porch tea in honor of Miss Sadie Reilly, this evening, and the affair will be one of the most unique given in some time. Waiters in Japanese costumes will serve tea and rice and other dishes known to the Japanese. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 23 June 1904, p. 3)
