NOTABLE WEDDING.
The marriage of Mr. George A. Anderson, and Miss Cora M. Sweet, was solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents, on Jersey street, at 8 o'clock last evening. This wedding is of unusual interest from the prominence of the groom in legal practice and the political arena, and from the high position occupied by the bride in social circles.
The wedding was a very elegant affair, although a very quiet one, only the relatives of the contracting parties being present. The ceremony was performed by the Reverend J. M. D. Davidson of Lewiston.
Among the guests present from abroad were: Mr. Don A. Sweet, brother of the bride, and family, of Topeka Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Allen and daughter of St. Joseph, Missouri; Mrs. Anderson, mother of the groom; Judge Scofield and wife, of Carthage; Miss Elder and Miss Carlton, of Carthage; Miss Mamie and Mr. Ed Harney of Mt. Sterling; [and] Miss Ione Broady of Barry.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson went to their new home, corner of Sixth and Cedar streets, last evening. They will receive the congratulations of the people of Quincy generally.
Mr. Anderson is one of the most prominent attorneys in this circuit, and his bride is a most estimable lady, who has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

of Mother.
Mrs. Cora Sweet Anderson, relict of Hon. George A. Anderson, one of Quincy's most renowned lawyers, and who served a term in Congress, died at 6:30 o'clock last evening, at the family residence, 1869 Hampshire street.
For the past six weeks, she had been confined to her bed with an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, which finally affected the heart, and resulted in her demise. Grip was the primary illness.
Mrs. Anderson appeared to be improving the last several days, and hopes were entertained for her ultimate recovery. However, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, there came a change for the worse, and she sank steadily, until the dissolution. The involving of the heart caused her rapid decline, and no human agency could stay the hand of death.
She was conscious almost to the very last, passing away with her three young children and aged father at her bedside. During the fatal illness, she suffered much pain, but, bore the ordeal with fortitude like the good woman that she was.
Had she lived until today, Mrs. Anderson would have been 46 years old, having been born May 9, 1858. Quincy was her birthplace, and in this city she always resided.
She was a daughter of Alanson L. and Martha Sweet, her father still living at the age of 81 years. The old gentleman has been making his home with his daughter of late years, and their companionship was a source of comfort in their bereavements.
In maidenhood as Cora Sweet, Mrs. Anderson was a beautiful girl, and was one of the belles of society when she married Mr. Anderson. Their wedding occurred June 15, 1886. It was quietly solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, who then resided at 632 Jersey street. A few days later, Mr. Anderson received the nomination to Congress on the Democratic ticket, and was elected to the office in the fall of that year, by a handsome majority. He served as Congressman during 1888-89, and made an excellent record for a young man and new member. He was thirty-four years old at the time of his election.
