IN THE SOCIAL WORLD

One of the loveliest weddings of the season was that of Miss Frances Graham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.G. Graham and Lieutenant Cornelius Cole Smith, 2d Cavalry, which took place at St. Paul's church last night at 7 o'clock...

The bridal party entered the church to the notes of the march from Lenore, played by Prof. Hair. First came Lieutenants Edwin Luple, 3rd Cavalry and J.R. Lindsey, 14th infantry, followed by Miss Georgetta Jones, then came Lieutenants Willis Uline, 12th Infantry, and George Kirkpatrick, 8th Cavalry, who preceded Miss Marie Harvey, then the maid of honor, Miss Emma Smith, sister of the groom, finally the bride leaning on the arm of her father. They were met at the chancel by the groom and best man, Lieutenant J.C. Gregg, 18th Infantry...

FANNY GRAHAM SMITH
DIES AT THE PRESIDIO

Wife of Captain C.C. Smith Dead Fol-
lowing an Operation for Appendi-
citis - Body Here for Burial

A telegram announcing the death of Mrs. Fanny Graham Smith, only child of Mr. and Mrs. J.G. Graham, of this city, and wife of Captain C.C. Smith, of the Fourteenth cavalry, U.S.A., now stationed at the Presidio, San Francisco, was received yesterday. Mrs. Smith was operated upon for appendicitis Wednesday and died yesterday morning. These are the only facts the telegram contained.

This news will come as a great shock to the many friends of Mrs. Smith in Leavenworth, where she was born and reared. Few young women have been more loved and admired for sterling qualities of heart and mind than the deceased. She was sincere and charitable, frank and tactful, sympathetic and always of happy presence. In the various garrisons where her husband has been stationed, she was always a welcome guest and a charming hostess. Their sojourn in the Philippine Islands several years ago impaired her health seriously although she had been enjoying better health in the last year, than at any time since her return from the Islands. She leaves two little sons, Gilbert and Graham, besides her stricken husband and parents.

The remains will be brought her for interment arriving probably Wednesday or Thursday next.
