The Wedding. --
A very select audience of invited guests, numbering about one hundred and fifty, assembled in the Moravian Church, Tuesday evening last, to witness the wedding festivities of Mr. S. F. Van Vleck and Miss E. T. Miller – Wm. Milchsack and C. W. Grosh acting as ushers.
At precisely 6:30 o’clock Mr. J. Fred. Wolle, of Bethlehem, presiding at the organ, began playing a beautiful prelude step, when the Rev. Bishop H. J. Van Vleck, father of the groom, accompanied by Rev. Chas. Nagle, pastor of the church, made their appearance from the chapel. Presently the two-to-be-made happy persons walked up the aisle of the church, in a dignified and graceful manner, preceded by the ushers, and taking their places in front of the Reverend gentlemen, Rev. Nagle read the service, whereupon Bishop Van Vleck propounded the usual questions, and in a very impressive manner closed the ceremony, after which the Mendelsson “Wedding March” was played.
No reception was held. The happy pair, accompanied by the Bishop, took the 7:25 train for Lancaster; from that point they started for Mr. Van Vleck’s former home, in Ohio.
