BIJUR—WERTHEIM Marriage Not Put Off at the Request of Bridegroom's Dying Father Invitations for the wedding of Abram Bijur of 46 East Seventy-third Street and Miss Angelita Wertheim, daughter of Jacob Wertheim of 5 West Seventy-six Street, which was to have taken place at Sherry's on Monday night, were recalled on Sunday owing to the death of Isaac Bijur, father of the bridegroom, but at the dying request of Mr. Bijur the ceremony was not canceled, and the couple were privately married yesterday afternoon at the Wertheim home. A dinner in honor of the bride and bridegroom, the bridesmaids, and the bridegroom's attendants was in progress at the Wertheim home on Saturday evening when word was received that Mr. Bijur had been stricken with apoplexy at his residence. The son hurried from the scene of the festivities to his father's bedside and was in time to see his father alive. The Wertheim home is the mansion formerly occupied by the present Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Oscar S. Straus, and was recently rented to the present tenant. The Rev. Joseph Silverman officiated at yesterday's ceremony. The bridegroom is a nephew of Nathan Bijur, the lawyer, who is well known in Jewish charitable work. [S883] .
