For the first time in the history of the Klamath Indian Reservatin, a wedding ceremony when Klamaths, Modocs and Pitt River Indians ate at the same table and smoked the pipe of peace in the true American style, took place there all day yesterday, when Elphie Pitt and William Henry, son and daughter of two of the best, wealthiest and most responsible Indian families on the reservation, were made man and wife. To cap the climax, John Pitt, father of the bride, bought and paid for on the spot, in cold cash, an automobile for the bride, and turned it over to her. The machine was Luke Walker's. John said, "I'll take it. How much is it?" He dug up the money in Uncle Sam's greenbacks and paid him on the spot. Ed Dunham of the Reo Garage, is teaching the bridegroom the "which and how" of the machine, and soon Mr. and Mrs. Henry will be driving the only machine owned on the northern part of the reservation. At least 200 Indians were present at the wedding ceremony at Pitt River Johnnie's on Spring Creek. Klamaths, Modocs and Pitts filled a table 3 times in succession, and such a feast, Luke says, he has never seen, and he has been in this country a long time. He quit counting them, but he estimates that there were at least 200 present. ---------------------------------- Evening Herald Jan. 31, 1920 Suit for divorce has been began in the circuit court by Elphie Pitt against Willie Henry on the ground of cruelty. ------------------------------ April 24, 1920 Effie Pitt Henry was granted a divorce from Willie Henry yesterday.
