Koch, Christina C. - 1894

Keltz/Koch
An unusually pleasant event took place in Grace Reformed church, Curllsville, on Sunday evening April 22nd.  The members of the C. E. Society had met for their weekly service, when the pastor took his place at the altar and Miss Alice M. Bittenbender, the organist, began playing Mendelsshon’s wedding march, and a wedding party consisting of Mr. Willis P. Keltz, of Brockwayville, and Miss Christina C. Koch, the organist of the Reformed congregation at Rimersburg, and their attendants, entered the church and approached the chancel where they were united in matrimony by the simple and impressive service of the Directory of Worship of the Reformed church.  Dr. Lady was happy to perform, as his last official act in the church, such a pleasant service.  The bride and groom left for their future home at Brockwayville on Monday morning.

Keltz /Koch
Miss Christina C. Koch, one of Rimersburg’s popular young ladies, was joined in wedlock on Sunday, April 22nd, with Willis P. Keltz, a rising young business man of Brockwayville, Rev. D. B. Lady, DD., officiating.  Miss Koch has been for a number of years the organist of the Reformed congregation at Rimersburg and will be greatly missed.  She left with her husband for Brockwayville on Monday morning.  The wedding party entered the church and approached the altar to the tune of Mendelsshon’s wedding march, played by Miss Alice M. Bittenbender, the organist of the Grace church, and the pastor used the simple and impressive service of the “Directory of Worship.”
