The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1889-05-01

The most brilliant social event that ever
took place in that sacred eddce, St.
Brigid's Church, North Memphis, was
witnessed by the crowded multitude who
hardly found space within its walls yester-
day morning at nuptial high mass.
The Very Rev. Father Francis, assisted
by several other priests, performed the
holy and impressive ceremony of uniting
in marriage Miss Maggie L. REILLY, the
pretty and cultured daughter OF that well
known and esteemed citizen, Mr.. NJ. III.
REILLY, to Mr.. Jore Plunkett, OF Canton,
Ind.
AT little after 0 o'clock the approach
OF the bridal party was announced by the
organ pealing forth wedding march. I'M
mediately they moved up the aisle, pre-
coded by the witnesses, Mr.. John c.
REILLY and Miss Annie Liston and Mr..
John Kehoe and Miss Minnie Molohan, OF
Nashville. The bride, who was attired in
a magnificent dress of white satin amore
EN- train, veil OF superb Illusion, pearls and
diamonds, presented striking figure of
modesty, refinement and beauty rs she
gracefully leaned on the arm of the hand
some groom. She has ever been a
favorite with all classes, rich and
poor, owing TO her gentle and Iowa
bio disposition. Her kind and indul-
gent father was lavish in the expenditure
OF time and money in the cultivation Of
her literary and musical education, and
for which she possessed a natural talent.
She therefore ranks second to few in her
knowledge Of music, vocal and instru-
mental.
Mr.. Plunkett, the groom, who has been
so fortunate us to gain the hand and heart
OF this popular young lady, is Young
| gentleman Of noble worth, who has sue
cecded in accumulating quito fortune
owing TO his sober, honest, industrious
and persevering habits lie can point
with manly pride to an industrious and
honorable line of ancestors, whose names
have been linked with lreland's sad his
tory for centuries.
