A Brilliant and Auspicious Hymeneal
Event.


pretty wedding when Herman G.
Stoetzer and Miss Margaret Anna
Brown were married, as it was a Ger.
emony performed where the senses
were attuned to an unusual idea oil
elegance. This suspicious marital
event occurred at the Chancerv hill
home of the BRIDE last Wednesday
afternoon 1t was attended by about
70 of the friends of the couple, from
far and near, who assembled during
the hour previous to the ceremony
and were received into the home
which for this occasion, an occasion
OF the old home ties Oh one of our
most gracious, vivacious and admir-
ed girls being rent assunder, was
tastefully festooned with palms and
other rare floral specimens to give
the loftiest imagination of beauty in
house decoration.
AT | O'Clock the Rev. A. M. Buch
anan advancing to the flower banked
north end of the commodieus parlor
was the signal for the company to
form on the sides of the room. As
the preacher turned F. W. Banner,
of Wheeling, seated at the piano, be-
gan a pretty improvised prelude, and
this was followed, at the firsrappear-
ance of the bridal party, by strong
volumed notes Of the wedding march
from Lohengrin. The groom entered
on the arm of Rev. Dickey, of Prince
ton, n. j., his best man, who we're
followed by the maid of honor, Miss
Gay Brown, sister of the bride, the
cynosure, who came in with her hand
upon the arm of her father, the Hon.
John j. Brown. Miss Nellie Alder
son, of Mountain Lake Park, and
Miss Edna Hough, of Morgantowp,
were the bridesmaids to come imme
diately after the bride, and they
were followed by the two remainin g
bridesmaids, Miss Reta Heavier
and Miss Name Hurst, cousins of
the bride. These four parting on
either side of the minister, who was
then faced by the others, he began
saying a ceremony which was both
beautiful and impressive, introduce
ing the ring and responsive features.
During the pronunciation of the
words which bound together the lives
and fortunes of these young people
Mr. Banner played softly fragmen-
tary portions of popular airs, but
as the newly married turned to leave
there swelled out the grand melody
of Kappa Epsilon. The bride was
attired in white satin duchesse with
tulle vail, and was most certainly an
imperial champion of loneliness. The
bridesmaids wore gowns which were
of the varied colors to produce the
most pleasing artistic effect as group.
ed. The bridal party occupied one
of the many tables to which the
guests were hidden to take the we'd
ding feast, which was gastronomic
perfection. Their presents were
many, both useful and ornamental.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoetzer left on the
A o'clock train for their new home
at Moordale, Pa, where he has been
installed as pastor of the Presbyteri-
an church. This will be the extent
of a present wedding trip. They
were followed to the depot by large
number of the witnesses, and showers
of shoes and rice. BY this wedding
a young man well known to Morgan
town people, who is an alumnus of
the University here and the theolog-
ical department of Princeton, a. ma
tive of Wheeling and now a minister
of Presbyterian church in Pennsyl-
vania, won for his bride a young la
dy whose many superior qualities of
mind and heart have placed Der in
the firm bonds of never ending friend
ship with large circle; her industry
and willingness in religious work
have endeared her to her church peo-
Pile; her amiability and winning man.
Der made her popular in society; her
sweet voice and musical ability made
her challenge comparison with cul-
tured artists. Her departure is re-

of friends follow Mr. and Mrs. Her.
