One of the pleasantest matrimonial
events ever taking place in Watertown,
was the wedding of DR.. Dudley A. Had
ley, of Oconomowoc, and Miss Electa B.
Wilder, for some years a popular teacher
in our public schools, which occurred
Wednesday evening, July Goth, 1882, at
the home of the brides mother, Mrs Mary
S. Wilder, in the First ward. At the ap-
pointed hour, half past eight o'clock, a
large company of invited guests had as
sembled to witness the ceremony which
should change the relationship in life
of the two affianced. Responding to
the sweet strains of a wedding march
played by Miss Lizzie Griffith, the
happy couple, waited upon by George
F. Wilder, brother of the bride, as
groomsman, and Miss Anna Daniels
as bridesmaid, took their position under
beautifully wrought floral marriage
bell where they pledged each others troth
and were pronounced in proper terms
man and wife by Rev. R. G. Bedford, of
the Congregational Church. The cere-
mony over Mr.. and Mrs. Hadley receiv-
ed warm greetings and the happy con
gratulations of all present, the desire be-
ing expressed that the bridal pair might
live long to enjoy their union SO auspi
ciously begun. The refreshments spread
before the guests were choice and boun-
tiful and it is needless to say that ample
justice was done the viands. The COM
pany gave themselves up to pleasantres
and enjoyment until about midnig ht
when all sought their homes to dream
over the festivities Of the evening and
the fine inequalities they had received
DR.. and Mrs. Hadley took their de
parture by the first train for Oconomo-
woo where they at once settled down to
housekeeping. An array OF presents,
