Josephine
Hotchkiss-Waldron Williams
The marriage of Miss
Josephine Hotchkiss, daughter of
Horace L. Hotchkiss, the banker,
to Waldron Williams yesterday
noon in All Souls' Church was
one of the most notable social
events thus far during this
season. Miss Hotchkiss is very
popular in fashionable New York
circles, and Mr.. Williams is an
alumnus of Columbia College of
the class of '85 and a
well-known member of the
University Club. Consequently
the wedding was a large one, and
the church at Madison Avenue and
Sixty-sixth Street barely
accommodated all the guests.
About 2,000 invitations had been
sent out. The chancel was banked
with palms, and great bunches of
chrysanthemums were on the
altar. The music, which was
Wagnerian in character, was
conducted by R. H. Warren, a
friend of the groom. The bride
entered the main aisle with her
father as Mr. Warren played the
"Lohengrin" processional. She
wore a handsome white gown of
heavy satin, trimmed with
embroidered chiffon. Her veil
was of tulle.
Following the bride came the
maid of honor, Miss Grace
O'Hara, dressed in white
Bengaline trimmed with pearls
and wearing a large white felt
hat with pink and white plumes.
The bridesmaids were Miss E. R.
Watson, Miss Gertrude Riker,
Miss Alice Hunt, Miss M. Louise
Major, Miss Clara Rich, and Miss
Clara Hotchkiss, the bride's
sister. They all wore lovely
gowns of Persian white crepe
trimmed with pearl bowknots, and
large brown felt hats with pink
and brown plumes. Each carried a
bunch of pink chrysanthemums.
At the chancel rail the
bride was met by the Rev. Dr. R.
Heber Newton, the rector of all
Souls', and the groom with his
best man, Richard Riker. The
ushers were Stephen H. Brown,
Eugene Southack, Charles H.
Shaw, Evert Jansen Wendell, J.
Bloomfield Harriot, and Horace
L. Hotchkiss, Jr., the bride's
brother.
The services at the
church were followed by a
reception given by Mr. and Mrs.
Horace L. Hotchkiss at their
residence, 12 East Sixty-seventh
street, attended by only the

Meekins
Lynn R. Meekins, associate
editor of the Baltimore American
and Miss Katie Webster, daughter
of the late Rev. Dr. Augustus
Webster of Baltimore, were
married last night at the home
of the bride's brother-in-law,
Prof. D.D. Herring of the
University of New York, at 471A
First Street, Brooklyn. The
wedding was a very quiet one,
owing to the recent death of the
bride's father, and only the
immediate members of the two
families were present. The Rev.
Dr. J.J.G. Webster of Baltimore,
a cousin of the bride, performed
the ceremony. George A. Meekins,
the groom's brother, was the
best man, and the bride was

the wedding, and Mr. and Mrs.

for Virginia Beach. They will
live in Baltimore. Mr. Meekins
is quite well known in newspaper
circles. In addition to his
editorial work he has written a
number of clever short stories
that have been highly praised.
