Lima Times Democrat, November 14, 1906
AN OLD SWEETHEART Claimed by Stewart Brice as His Wife in New York 
Yesterday.  Girl of His Boyhood.  Mrs. Catherine Mount, a former Indianapolis 
Girl, Lima Boys Bride.

A dispatch from new York tells of the marriage there of Capt. Stewart M. 
Brice, the former Lima boy, as follows:

New York, Nov, 14.  Captain Stewart Meiley Brice, son of the late Senator 
Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio married his boyhood sweetheart, Mrs. Catherine Mount, 
last night, and they will start tomorrow on a honeymoon trip through the south 
and to Venezuela.  The ceremony was performed in the apartments of Mrs. Julia 
R. Kelsey, No. 505 west One Hundred and Eleventh street, the hostess attending 
the bride and William Carpenter Camp the bridegroom.  The wedding was most 
informal and those named were the only witnesses.  Rev. Dr. Henry Marsh 
Warren, chaplain of the hotels, officiated.

Determined to have all the wedding functions Mrs. Brice immediately after the 
knot was tied, went to the piano and played the Mendelssohn March.  She is an 
accomplished musician and the divorced wife of a resident of Indianapolis who 
left her several years ago for a woman of the stage.

Though a world traveler and no stranger to adventure abroad and home, Captain 
Brice knew no matrimonial trials, and in his ignorance took Mrs. Mount to the 
city hall, seeking a marriage license for the ceremony which they had 
determined to have performed.  They were told that no license was necessary, 
and then made arrangements with the Rev. Dr. Warren, who went to Mrs. Kelseys 
home and married them.  The wedding party and the clergyman then drove to 
Delmonicios where a supper was served.

Captain Brice is 35 years old, and his bride is a few years his junior.  They 
were sweethearts in Indianapolis 15 years ago, when he was a Harvard student 
on vacation, and they met often after, mostly in Washington, where Senator 
Brice lived at the time he was senator.  Captain Brice won high honors in 
college and was subsequently elected to the district of his familys home, No. 
693 Fifth avenue.

He was made a captain of Volunteers at the outbreak of the war with Spain, and 
served with distinction on the staff of General Shaffer
