•See Emma E. Forsythe.

      Invitations have been issued for the wedding of Miss Myrtie Bixby and Angus Murray, which takes place on the evening of Sept. 17th, at St. Paul's church at 9 o'clock. A reception will follow at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. L. P. White, Jr., from ten until twelve. (Brainerd Dispatch, 05 September 1890, p. 4, c. 3)

            A Pleasant Wedding Party.

      The wedding of Angus Murray to Miss Myrtle [sic] Bixby was solemnized at the Episcopal church on Wednesday evening, the Rev. Geo. H. Davis officiating. At precisely 9 o'clcok the wedding party entered the church and marched up the aisle halting before the alter while sweet strains of music floated through the air. The party was escorted by the ushers, W. A. M. Johnstone and R. F. Walters, followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Minnie Bixby, and the groomsman, Mr. A. G. P. Lepper, the bride upon the arm of her father, J. A. Bixby, and the bridegroom escorting the brides' mother. The beautiful wedding ceremony of the Episcopal church which bound the couple together for life as man and wife was pronounced and the party retired from the edifice.
      Immediately after the services at the church a reception followed at the residence of L. P. White, Jr., at the corner of Second and Kingwood streets, which was largely attended and highly enjoyed. After congratulations were offered an elegant luncheon was served, the party breaking up at midnight.
      The bride is a daughter of J. A. Bixby, overseer of the county poor farm, and she is well known in this city, having lived here all her life. Her friends are numerous and her popularity extends in all directions. The groom is one of the popular conductors of the Northern Pacific road, and has many friends in this city where he made his home for some years. Mr. and Mrs. Murray left on the midnight train for Grand Forks, which will probably be his headquarters in the future, as his run is from Fertile to that city, and they are followed to their new home with the best wishes of the entire community.
      A large number of elegant presents were tendered the couple, of which a description will be found below:
      Silver tea set, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. F. Brinkman, Mr. and Mrs. J. Straub, Mr. and Mrs. C. Miller, Mrs. L. Powell, Miss Lizzie Miller, Mr. A. G. P. Lepper and Mrs. C. Dressen.
