a half century of happy married life.
and to express the wish that they might
enjoy for many years continuance of
their present excellent health. All tSe
children and grandchildren were as
sembled together for the first time.
The children we're Eugene and Ernest,
vino live on farms adjoining the home
stead Mrs w Z. Tingle, of GAINESVILLE,
and Mrs. VIM. Owen, Of Cincinnati. The
groomsman at the wedding fifty years
ago was Mr.. Mortimer Pollack, of
Wheeling, who lived at that time in the

On Wednesday. the 29th, at p. m,
very interesting wedding took place at
the parochial residence of ST. Johns
Church, in Bon&ood. The happy par
ed daughter, Miss Matilda. of Mrs. Mary
Read, and DR.. Walter Mcmillan. of Dill
lonvale, Ohio. The recent death of the
groom's mother prevented a formal
wedding, but those who got q glimpse
of the principals were charmed and re-
joiced in their good fortune at being
present. The costume OF the bride was,
so to speak, chef-d' Oeuvre, and might
have been of Partisan origin. We do
not attempt to give a description. for
we confess our inability to do this, but
we remarked a few generalities au cur
runt. The dress was OF some light-col-
ored material, approaching fawn.
trimmed with rich lace and chiffon.
The coat was of the Louis XIV. style,
trimmed with dark blue velvet and Per-
sian lace In the bosom was worn a
large bouquet of bridal roses. White
kid gloves and beautiful hat to match
the dress completed the brides apparel.
The graceful fall of the skirt and the
close-fitting bodice served 10 show OFF
the naturally dignified form of her
whom they graced. A more lovely Wis
ion of grace and dignity seldom appears
before Hymen's altar. The groom
looked handsome in a fine black suit of.
evening dress and wore a neat little
bouttoniere of roses on the lapel Of his
coat. On his hands were a pair OF light
tanned gloves. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father MoMenamin,
uncle of the bride. Only the relatives
of the young couple were present. After
the ceremony the bridal party were
driven 10 the home of Mr.. Thomas Nc
MILAN. father OF the groom, where a
rich repast was served Thursday

hack conveying them TO the W. e l.. E.
