A OUADRUPLE WEDDING.
All the Members OF One Family United
All the Members of Another.

All the Members OF One Family United to
All the Members of Another.
Double weddings are common occurrences
and triple weddings are heard Of occasionally,
but what has probably never been heard Of be-
fore took place at the farm house of James
Bunce, who lives near Stockton, Kan. This was
quadruple wedding
On the adjoining farm to that of Bunce is the
family Of William Mccoy. The two families
have long been intimate. The Bunce family
consisted of father, two sons and daughter, the
mother having been dead for ten years. The
Mccoy family consisted of Mrs. Mccoy two
daughters and one son. Mccoy died about
three years ago. t-
The younger members of the families have
been thrown together constantly, and their
intimacy ripened into love. Several times thew
have been on the point Of marriage but in
each instance they have been disappointed by
some unforeseen incident As time progressed
1t was seen that all three weddings could be
had at one time with profit and pleasure, and
arrangements were made accordingly.
While the preparations for the triple event
were in progress Mrs. Mccoy and Mr. Bunce
were thrown much together but the Younger
people were SO engrossed with their own affairs
that they dld not notice any suspicious signs
between their parents When the night Of the
triple wedding came all were ready, and the
minister called upon the contracting parties to
stand before him while he pronounced the
words that would make them united. The min
lister had been posted by Bunce and he was the
only one In the room who was not surprised
when Bunce and the widow also stood up and
joined their hands preparatory to the service
IL was not too much ola surprise, however to
prevent the young folks from carrying out
their part OF the performance, and the happy
couples are now In one united family.
