The ceremony which united these two young people in the holy bonds of matrimony was performed at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. D.V. Wyman, by Rev. A.P.

The groom was attired in the conventional black with a brocaded vest of modest tone. After the ceremony the guests partook of a well prepared wedding supper.
