Lieut. Bennet Weds Mildred E. Bruns
Young Officer of 13th Infantry and His Bride to Sail for the Philippines
A West Point Romance
Daughter of Stock Exchange Member Married in Grace Church Chantry
Lieut. E.G. Bliss Best Man
Miss Mildred Emelie Bruns was married yesterday to Lieutenant John Bennington Bennet of the United States Army and within less than two weeks she will cross the Pacific Ocean with her husband, whose regiment, the Thirteenth Infantry, has been ordered to duty at Manila, in the Philippines.
The wedding was the culmination of a romance of about two years, which began when the young Army officer was a cadet at West Point. He is 24 years of age and was graduated last June. Seventeen days later he was made a First Lieutenant. During July he was at the civilian camp at Plattsburg as one of the military instructors. When his regiment was ordered to the Philippines a short time ago Miss Bruns quickly decided that her place was with the Army, too and the wedding was arranged so that the young couple might spend a few days of their honeymoon in the East.
Mrs. Bennet is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Bruns, who live in the Apthorp Apartment in Broadway between Seventy-eighth and Seventy-ninth Streets. She is 20 years old. Mr. Bruns is a well-known member of the Stock Exchange, being the board member of the brokerage firm of Anderson, Bruns & Co., of 60 Broadway.
The wedding was held at 3:30 o’clock in Grace Church Chantry. It was one of the quietest and simplest ceremonies of its kind that has ever been held in that little chapel. Only the family and a few intimate friends were present, barely a dozen in all. Lieutenant Bennet had for his best man his West Point classmate, Lieutenant E. Goring Bliss, son of Major General Tasker H. Bliss, Assistant Chief of the General Staff of the United States Army.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Howard Weir, one of the assistant rectors of Grace Church. The bride’s father gave her in marriage and after the few friends had showered upon the newly married pair their best wishes for the Army life in the Philippines, the Lieutenant and his bride were whirled away in an automobile. Lieutenant Bennet’s father is Major John D. Bennet, stationed at Douglas, Arizona.
