- Times Picayune (N.O., LA), Sunday, 1 February 1914: Orleanian's Romance - Miss Edith Harris becomes a bride in San Francisco: News was received here yesterday of the culmination of a New Orleans maid's romance at the golden gate. C. Angus Wurtele, at that time connected with a Chicago bank, came here for the American bankers' convention, and met Miss Edith M. Harris, a sister of Mrs. E.D. Frederic, of 4130 Carondelet. Their acquaintanceship ripened into love, and the wooing continued until Miss Harris consented to become a bride. Mr. Wurtele was compelled by business to remain on the Pacific coast, and it was recently arranged that Miss Harris join him there. Yesterday they met at the altar at Grace Church Cathedral, in San Francisco, Rev. J. Wilmer Gresham, a former Orleanian, by a happy coincidence, performing the ceremony.
- New Orleans Item (N.O., LA), Monday, 2 February 1914: Miss Edith Harris weds out in Frisco - Popular Orleans Girl's Banker Romance of Year's Standing: News of the marriage of Miss Edith Harris, of New Orleans, to C. Angus Wurtele in San Francisco, last Saturday, has created an unusual amount of interest here. The wedding marks an important milestone in a romance of several years' duration. At the time of the announcement of the engagement Mr. Wurtele was making his home in New Orleans. Change of plans and his departure for California caused a postponement of the wedding after the event was announced. There is one small gentleman in the world, however, who recognizes no obstacles and to whom a trip to California seems as nothing. This gentleman's name is Mr. D. Cupid. And as Mr. Wurtele, who is now in the banking business in San Francisco, could not obtain a leave of absence just now, Miss Harris finally went to California. The wedding took place on Saturday morning in Grace cathedral. Reverend Wilmer Gresham, a personal friend of the bride and well known in New Orleans as a former curator of Trinity church, performed the marriage ceremony. Saturday night Mrs. Lyman and Mrs. Frederichs, sisters of the bride, received a telegram from Mr. and Mrs. C. Angus Wurtele.
