"Lulu" Duncan Cogswell Sept 3,1883-Nov 11,1973 Helen"Lulu"Duncan Cogswell is the daughter of Mathew "George" Washington Duncan & Elizabeth"Josephine" Acheson. She was born 03 September 1882 in Wayne County, Iowa and died 11 November 1973 in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. She married Percy Howard Cogswell in 1904 at the home of her parents in Fort Morgan, Colorado. Percy Howard Cogswell was born 06 April 1876 in Maine and died 04 November 1962 in Alliance, Box Butte County, Nebraska. Popular Young People Wed. The marriage of Mr. Percy H. Cogswell and Miss Lulu H. Duncan was solemnized at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Duncan, at Fort Morgan, Colo., Tuesday, August 2, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, by the Rev. Gibson of the United Presbyterian church of Fort Morgan. The preparations and artistic decorations for this important affair were complete in every detail, and the young couple, in the heyday of their young lives, were in their dreams of love, just on the threshold of a new life on whose path the morning sun in the far east had begun to cast its slender rays of silvery light. In the spacious room wherein the marriage took place the ceremony was performed before a large window decorated in green and white, amid a bower of ferns and palms. Promptly at the hour announced, the bridal party proceeded towards the beautiful arch, led by little Julia Frankle and Eva Duncan who acted as flower girls, strewing the pathway of the bridal party with rose petals. Following the flower girls came little Tillie Frankle bearing the golden ring, which was the visible insignia of this most important contract between two lives, to be broken only by death. Then came the bride and groom, and as the sweet strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march were faultlessly played by Miss Inice McCorkle, the scene was one of grand inspiration and those present could not but feel that spirit which appeals to the soul when the higher and better nature is touched. The bride was costumed in white Paris muslin trimmed in valenciennes lace and insertion, while the groom wore conventional black. The young couple responded audibly to the religious ceremonies and the minister in low tone announced the words uniting them in the hold bonds of matrimony. While the imposing ceremony was in progress the scene was made doubly impressive by the sweet strain of that favorite melody, “Love’s First Dream.” It was an ideal wedding, and one those who had the good fortune to witness will always remember with pleasure. After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratulations and good wishes of all and the bride was visibly affected as she rested in the arms of her parents who could not give their child away without crowding back tears, for she was a good daughter to them and we know how a parent’s heart saddens to see a flower of the flock pass from their circle. It is not that they regret to see her pass along life’s path and seek the hearth of the one she loves, for that is right and natural, but yet it is so hard to give her up. In this instance the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan are made happy by the knowledge that their daughter has selected a partner for life who is a man of honor, and in the community in which he resides holds the high esteem of all for his manly bearing. Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell will come to Alliance enjoying the good will and friendship of all the citizens. After the congratulations the guests were invited to the dining hall, where refreshments of brick ice cream and assorted cakes were served by the Misses Vina Perry, Mabel Duncan and Alma Hamilton. Punch was served in the drawing room by Mrs. C.D. Peckinpaugh. The bridal couple left in the afternoon for a pleasure trip in the western part of the state and will visit Colorado Springs, Manateau, Cripple Creek and other interesting points in scenic Colorado before they take up their residence in this city, which will be in a week or ten days. The bride’s going away gown was of blue and champagne. Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell will be at home to their friends after September first. Those present from abroad at the marriage ceremony were Mrs. Marcus Frankle and daughters, Mrs. Will Acheson and daughters, Mrs. C.D. Peckenpaugh, Miss Inice McCorkle, Miss Vina Perry and Mr. Jay Duncan all of Alliance, also Mr. Geo. Bell of Loveland, Colo. The newly married couple were the recipients of a large number of beautiful presents, among which were several from a distance. Those who proved lucky winners at the wedding were the Misses Mabel Duncan, Alma Hamilton, Alice Acheson, and Edna Duncan who drew the ribbons of green and white to form the bridal arch. These fortunate young ladies had better look out or Cupid’s darts will find their hearts and other brave knights will do just as Percy did that day, each win the hand of the girl he loves.
