               Brainerd Girls Graduate.

      The nineteenth annual commencement exercises of Bennett Seminary, in Minneapolis, was held at the Westminister Church, on Tuesday evening last, and of the six young ladies who comprise the class of '89, two of them, Miss Lottie and Rosa Grandelmyer, are from Brainerd. In its report of the exercises the Pioneer Press of Wednesday, makes the following flattering reference to the Brainerd ladies:
      Miss Lottie Marie Grandelmyer was the first essayist, her subject being "Conquest and Not Conversion," she alluded to the influence of mind over mind, the weaker going eventually to the wall. The present age was better fitted for conquest, not by force, but by conversion. Men, she believed, never yielded to force until it overcame their minds, and then became a part of themselves, or conversion. The older nations that came into existence by mere conquest fell also through that influence.
      Miss Rosa Rachel Grandelmyer spoke on "Modern Manias," mentioning first some of the more ancient. The mania for speculation she regarded as the dominant one in American life to-day. There was a happy vein of sarcasm and humor running through the essay, and was especially noticeable in her allusions to the Tolstoi craze and the Jenness-Miller dress reform. (Brainerd Dispatch, 31 May 1889, p. 4, c. 4)

Rosa R. Grandelmyer married Charles D. [Dewey] Parker on September 8 [sic], 1889 in Crow Wing County, Minnesota.
