Announcements have been received in Rensselaer of the marriage on Auguse 7th, at Bedford, lowa, of Prof. Benjamin F. Coen, of Fort Collins, Colo., and Miss Jeanne Foster Welch, daughter of Mr. and 'Mrs. William S. Welch, of Bedford. Rensselaer friends of the groom have surmised for the past year or two that he was contemplating matrimony, for his visits to his old hoiye became quite rare and when he was here his mind seemed to dwell on the far away in a telltale manner, and his old friends did not hesitate to say that there was a girl in the- case. - For the past five years Mr. Coen has been a member of the faculty of the Colorado state agricultural college and government experiment station at Fort Collins and Miss Welch was also an instructor in the college. They met there and a friendship which started with their first meeting led to the courtship and marriage. Mr. Coen was a history teacher in the Rensselaer high school for two years, of which school he was also a graduate. He was a brilliant student in school and college and has made splendid progress as a college professor. Prof, and Mrs. Coen will be at home at Fgrt Collins after September Ist, residing at 1105 Remington street. The Republican, joining with the many old friends of the groom in Rensselaer and vicinity, wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Coen, a life of happiness and success, which we feel assured they will have in rare abundance.
