day-The Reception that Night
For weeks the society circles
of our city have been unusually
interested in anticipation of the
happy event which eliminated
Tuesday Feb. 22nd oflast week
the marriage of Miss Edna We'll,
of this city,t to Mr.. Adolph Oettin-
ger, of New York.
The bride is the elder daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sol. We'll, and a
general favorite throughout her
wide circle of friends. Ever gentle
and retiring, always thoughtful,
generous and kind, she grew up
among us to young womanhood,
and it is the highest testimonial
of the universal esteem in which
she is held by our people that the
entire city, of all degrees, were so
deeply interested in the crowning
of her life's destiny in happy
marriage.
The groom is not unknown to
our people, having been employed
for several years with the firm of
FL. We'll & Bros, until he went to
New York and established him
self in business, where he is now
at the head of the prosperous
manufacturing firm of Oettinger
Bros, of that great city. His many
friends here have always retained
pleasing remembrance of him
for his genial nature and sterling
character.
At 4:30 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon, in the Hebrew synagogue,
the marriage of this popular
young couple was solemnized.
The beautiful edifice was gorge
ously decorated for the happy oc-
casion, and at the appointed hour
was thronged to it's fullest ca
pacity with relatives and invited
friends of the contracting parties,
to witness the eternal locking of
their lives together in bonds of
mutual love andmystic unity, and
as the mellow lights cleaned
through the sacred edifce, and
the soft notes of the organ pre-
luded the approach of the bridal
procession, the vast congregation
were hushed into breathless 81
lence, while, doubtless, their
thoughts went back in feet, waver-
ing fight along the years-far back
to Isaac and Rebecca of old, and
Gods own benediction upon the
marriage state; and across the
rolling cons came back to each
heart present the mysterious
whispering, "aye, love dies not:
love goes on forever" The notes
change, and the first proud peans
of Mendelsohnn's " Wedding
March fall upon the listening
ears; the ushers proceed in pairs
up the opposite aisles to the chan
Gel rail; then cane the beautiful
Maid of Honor, Miss Hilda Elm
stein, exquisitely gowned in pink,
and bearing superb bouquet OF
pink Bride roses. AS she walked
up the aisle the groom was led
forth from the vestry by his best
man and brother, Mr.. Emanuel
Oettinger, and stood hall
facing the congregation and the
minister in graceful attitude O.
expectancy, awaiting the approach
of his bride, who came up the
aisle leaning on the arm of her IA
ther. and was a dream of loveliness
in white bridal attire of richest
material, nebulous flowing val
and in her hand a large bouque
of Lilies of the Valley. She wore
a. triple neclace of pearls with ;
sunburst clasp of diamonds, ant
!epaulets of silver. At the alta,
the groom stepped forward ant
received his bride from the hant
of her father, and the two thel
faced the officiating minister
Rev. J. L. Mayerberg, who il
Erich, full voice went through tn
impressive service of the Hebrey
church, after which he pro
lnounced them husband and vii
and gave them his ministeria
blessing.
