Wedding Bells
The marriage of Mr. J. S. Shively and Miss Mary A. Green took place at eight o'clock last night, at the Baptist church. The invited friends of the happy couple, who assembled to witness their taking of the marriage vow, completely filled the church. As Mendelssohn's wedding march was being played, the bride and groom, preceded by the ushers, Mr. George Gabaugh and Mr. S. C. Walker, and the officiating clergymen, Rev. Dr. Welcher and Rev. T. F. Stauffer, proceeded up the aisle of the church, pausing in front of the alter, neatly decorated with flowers where a very impressive marriage ceremony was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Welcher assisted by Rev. T. F. Stauffer.
After the conclusion of the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Schively proceeded to the residence of Rev. T. F. Stauffer, brother-in-law of the groom, where they received congratulations and presents from a large number of friends. The GAZETTE also extends congratulations.
