Bess/Wilson
On Thursday, 1:30 a.m., June 14th, Miss Carrie E., youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. N Wilson, of Shippenville, Pa., was married to Mr. J. Franklin Bess, of Montpelier, Ind. The nuptials were celebrated at the bride’s home, Rev. J. C. Wharton, pastor of the M. E. church, officiating. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Wolfe of Toledo, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Snyder, Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Bowman, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wharton, Mr. John Hosterman, Misses Lou Hosterman, Alice Rickenbrode and Etta Kahl.
After the ceremony and elegant dinner was served to which all did ample justice. The bride was the recipient of a number of valuable and useful presents from relatives and friends. One pleasant coincidence was that Miss Carrie’s wedding day was the 80th birthday of grandmother Wilson. Everything conspired to make the occasion a delightful one. It will remain as a sunny spot in the memories of all who were present.
The bridal pair took the train at 2:30 p.m., for Pittsburg. From Pittsburg they go to visit relatives and friends in Ohio. A number of friends accompanied them to the depot and as they departed showered them with good wishes and handsful <sic> of rice. May their wedded life be a long and happy one.
