MARRIED.-Miss Alice G. Vaughan. to Will
liam Doran, on the 18th day of June, A, d
1901 at Marysburg, Minnesota.
An interesting and lifelong associ-
alton was consummated by marriage
On the 18th inst, when Mr.. William
Doran led to the bridal altar, Miss
Alice G. Vaughan. The rite was per-
formed by the Rev. J.. D. Ronayne,
pastor of the Catholic church at Marys-
burg, MINI. Promptly at o'clock the
wedding party arrived, which consisted
of the bride and groom, Mr.. Francis
Vaughan, brother of the bride and Mr..
E. P. Doran, cousin of the groom, as
best men with Miss Liddie Vaughan,
sister of the bride and Miss Grace
Doran of st. Paul, as bridesmaids.
The costume of the bride was most
beautiful and becoming-consisting
of white organdie over white silk,
trimmed with white satin; while the
bridesmaids wore mouseline de sole
over pink silk. The groom and best
man were attired in the customary
dress suits of black. The bride carried
large bouquet of American beauties
and the bridesmaids bouquet each of
white peonies. A perfect June morn
ing, such as only Minnesota and those
who appreciate her climatic condition
can know, shone in upon this happy
couple, and the sun seemed to bless
them in its effulgent radiance. The
sacrament, which was the usual mar
riage service in the Roman church was
witnessed by hundreds of their friends
and relatives, many of whom were
from Mankato, st. Peter and surround
ing cities and villages, as we'll as from
the immediate neighborhood, likewise
from the cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis and in addition to these some
friends from neighboring states, among
outside guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
Clinton of southern Wisconsin, Miss
Grace Doran and brother, Thos. ].
McDermott and Mrs. McDermott and
sons of st. Paul. After the ceremony
the invited friends repaired to the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Philip
Vaughan which overlooks one of the
gems of Blue Earth county, Lake
Valentine where delightful day was
spent in and about their spacious
grounds amid the shady hooks and
groves for which their surroundings
are noted.
The house was decorated with ferns
water lilies carnations and roses. Re-
freshments were served during the en-
tire day while at nightfall the young
people of the entire vicinity by special
invitation whiled the time away in
tripping the light fantastic toe at the
Madison Lake hall. Of those who had
the pleasure of attending all agree that
it was perfect day pretty wedding
and delightful time; and the happy
termination of an interesting courtshi p
made especially notable by the fact
that two of the groom's brothers had
long prior to this wedding married
sisters of the bride.
The happy couple left Wednesday
afternoon for long wedding tour in
the southwest. During their trip they
will visit Des Moines, ST. Joseph,
Leavenworth, Kansas City and Hot
Springs Arkansas, as well as many
other places of interest. They expect
to be gone for several weeks. Upon
their return home they will commence
housekeeping at one Of the homes of
the groom located on the north shore
of that clear crystal and invigorating
sheet of water known as Duck Lake,
which lies Immediately north of Madi-
son Lake, in Blue Earth county. Their
friends and we'll wishers, and they
are legion, all join in wishing them
a bon-voyage in their new ship of life.
