- Isabella's middle initial of 'L' is clearly given in the 1930 and 1940 Censuses. Hopefully, someone will come forward with proof of her actual middle name.
She studied art in San Francisco in 1892 and interrupted her studies to be her father's secretary when he was elected to the State legislature.

Nuptials of Governor Geer and Miss Trullinger WAS A NOTABLE SOCIETY EVENT
Simple Ceremony Toole Place at the Presbyterian Charch, of Astoria, at 4 Yesterday Afternoon. ASTORIA, Or.. June 15.
Governor T. T. Geer. Oregon's Chief Executive, and Miss Isabelle Trullinger, were married In Astoria this afternoon, under circumstances as happy and surroundings as pleasant as could be desired. The weather did not promise well, but resulted In a beautiful sunset as the bridal party started away on their special car, amid a shower of rice. The ceremony was performed at the First Presbyterian Church, by Rev. Henry Marcotte. pastor of the church. It was the desire of Governor Geer and Miss Trullinger, as well as their families, that the ceremony and the incidents surrounding it should be quiet and unassuming, but the prominence of the Governor and the social position of the bride hardly rendered such arrangements possible. Astoria's wealth of flowers was levied upon, and the church was a perfect bower of white roses, arranged by the hands of the bride's friends. The time set for the wedding was 4 o'clock this afternoon. The bridal party entered the church exactly at the hour designated, and six minutes later they were In a carriage, starting for the home of the bride's parents, where the reception took place. The ceremony Itself was a simple one, and only In the benediction could be noticed any deviation from that of a less important marriage. There was no wedding march. As the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, Mrs. J. T. Ross rang the first verse of Bohm's "Still as the Night." During the ceremony. Mrs. H. C. Thompson played "Oh, Promise Me" on the organ. As the Governor and Mrs. Geer left the church. Mrs. J. T. Ross sang the second verse of "Still as the Night." As the bride, on the arm of her father, J. C. Trullinger. reached the chancel she was met by Governor Geer, who was attended by Grant Trullinger, a brother of the bride. Preceding her were the little nephew and neice. Pope Trullinger and Teresa Mack, who acted as flower-bearer. The bride was attired In a tailor-made traveling gown of dark gray broadcloth, wiih a hat to match the suit. It was plain, but had a very handsome effect on the tall and stately woman. Her bridesmaid was Miss Downing, of Salem, who was dressed in pink chiffon, with a picture hat to match. The Party were: Paul Badolett, Paul Trullinger, Arthur C. Callan and Jack Allen. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, to which only the families of the bride and groom were Invited. Through the courtesy of Superintendent MoGulre, - of the Astoria & Columbia River Railway, a special car was attached to the evening train for the exclusive use of the bridal couple. Their wedding trip will be about two weeks, and will extend to Puget Sound and British Columbia. A large crowd of friends of the newly married couple assembled at the station to see them off, and wish them the greatest of happiness In their married life. Rice and old shoes were in abundance, and the platform resembled the effect of a snow storm after the train pulled out with the Governor and Mrs. Geer waving their handkerchiefs. A number of the bridal party accompanied them as far as Goble, returning on the night train. "The presents received by Mrs. Geer were numerous, and from many parts of the country, from her friends and from those of her husband, and represented wealth and artistic taste. They Included a large amount of solid silver plate of all descriptions, from a spoon to a tea set, and came from neighboring states, and from the East, as well as from Oregon. Mrs, Geer recelved many choice pieces of decorative art, painted by her artist friends, with whom she had worked. One artist of National fame. L. B. Bischoff, of New York.' sent as a gift a small piece that Mrs. Geer had painted and presented to him, and on it was painted his name, therebv adding hundreds of dollars to its money value.
