John A. Sargent and Miss Lulu McShane at the Nuptial Altar.
A wedding, which is of great interest to both Kansas City and Omaha, was celebrated yesterday morning at St. John's Collegiate church, for it united two prominent families.
It was that of Miss Lulu McShane, daughter of Mrs. E. C. McShane of Omaha, niece of ex-Congressman John A. McShane and grand niece of John A. Creighton, to John A. Sargent, assistant general freight agent of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis road, a very young and a very promising railroad man with station at Kansas City.
Exactly at 10 o'clock the stone church on California street was crowded to its utmost and Professor Schank at the organ was playing the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin, when there was a flutter of skirts, a turning of heads and a bridal procession solemnly and slowly processed up the aisle. Two little acolytes, Guy and Felix Furay, in their spotless surplices, met the procession and preceded it to the altar. Then came the three ushers, Edward McMahon , Edward Furay and Charles Furay. Miss May McShane, maid-of-honor and sister of the bride, with Miss Gertrude Sargent of Kansas City, sister of the groom, as bridesmaid, walked together. They wore yellow crepe growns, with picturesque hats trimmed in yellow chrysanthemums, and each carried a huge bunch of the same flower. Two little flower girls, Mary Lee McShane, daughter of John A. McShane, and Minnie, daughter of F. J. McShane, led the way for the bride, who walked alone.
The little girls were in Kate Greenaway gowns of white crepe, wearing wreaths and carrying bouquets of natural chrysanthemums. The bride was dressed simply, but gracefully, in white duchesse satin, made high at the throat, long train and a bertha of point lace about the shoulders. She carried bride roses, and fastening her veil was the groom's gift, a resplendent diamond flower. The groom and his best man, Walter Poteet of Kansas City, came from the sacristy and met the bride at the chancel rail.Rt. Rev. Bishop Richard Scannell performed the ceremony and solemn nuptial high mass was celebrated immediately after, in which seven priests took part and eight little acolytes, who were all relatives of the bride, assisted.
The church was gorgeously decorated in yellow and white chrysanthemums, and palms, and other foliage. Rev. Father Hillman, assisted by Fathers Koopmann and Murphy, sang the mass. Harry Burkley and Mrs. Lange rendered the offertory and when the service was over Mendelssohn's Wedding March, rolling out from the organ, conducted the party from the church.
A breakfast at high noon at the family residence, 2204 California street, followed the wedding at the church, to which only members of the family sat down. They were: Mrs. M. L. Sargent of Kansas City, mother of the groom, Mrs. E. C. McShane, Miss Nellie McShane, John McShane, Mr. and Mrs. John A. McShane, John A. Creighton and the wedding party. A reception followed in the afternoon between the hours of 3 and 5 and in the evening between 7 and 9 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Sargent left at 9:45 last evening in a special car for a wedding journey of six weeks to California and the Pacific coast, and will return to Kansas City and be at home at the Washington after January 10.
Those who were present from out of town for the nuptial festivities were Mrs. Sargent and her daughter of Kansas City; Miss Jennie O'Brien and Miss Carrie Stivers of Burlington, Ia.; Walter Poteet of Kansas City; Miss May Rose McAdams of Chicago; the Misses Greenwood of Wymore; James F. Murphy of Detroit; Mr. Wheeler of Atchison, and Mrs. Hogan and Mr. Frank Hogan of Chicago.
The wedding presents were most profuse in number and high in value. They were worth a fortune in themselves, and it is not necessary to qualify by saying a small fortune. A corps of policemen guarded the premises until after the wedding, when a regular police detective went on duty.
