rian church in this place, of Mr..
w. Logan Sloan Of Buffalo, N. Y,
and Miss M. Eloise Trout, daugh-
ter of Mrs. e. 9. Trout near
town.
When our reporter entered a
few minutes before 8 o'clock, he
found the brilliantly lighted audi
torium well filed with relatives
and friends of the contracting
parties. A huge pyramid of flow
ering plants capped by a nam
moth calladium, occupied the al
tar place. The organ platform
was a perfect bower of evergreen
and the "amen" corner to the left
of the pulpit had received it's
share of attention from the deco
rators.
The wedding party was in the
Sunday school room at the rear
Of the auditorium. Just before
the clock struck 8, the thrilling
notes of Lohengrin were watt
cd from the organ bower by the
accomplished performer, Miss
Anna Dickson, the felt doors
opened, and the groom accompa-
MED by the "best man," his
brother Clarence of Detroit,
Mich, emerged and walked up
the side aisle to the right of the
room, stopping at the upper end
of the aisle and facing the pulpit.
Now, from the little room came
George M. Robinson and Merrill
w. Mace, two of the ushers, who
walked up the middle aisle, and
at a distance of perhaps five yards
they were followed by Clarence
N. Trout and f. Men. Johnston,
the other two ushers. Then came
the brdesmaids-first, Miss Dix
Robinson, and then Miss Scott
Sloan, and then Miss Mary Sloan,
and then Miss Mary Trout, pass
ing up the aisle singly about the
same distance apart as the ush-
ers. Miss Bess Trout maid of
honor and sister of the bride
came next, and last came the
bride leaning on the arm of her
brother Daniel F. Trout. AS the
bride and her brother went up
the middle aisle, the groom and
his best man advanced from their
position at the head of the side
aisle. The bride and groom meet
ing at the head of the middle
aisle, were now in position for
the ceremony. To their right as
they faced the minister who stood
just in front of the altar, stood
the four ushers and the best
man, and to their left were the
four bridesmaids and the maid
of honor, so arranged that the
whole party formed almost cir
Gle around the minister. During
the ceremony the brother of the
bride stood just back of the bri-
dal couple.
AS soon as the ceremony, which
was performed by'Dr. West, was
concluded, the bride and groom
passed down the middle aisle in
70 the "little" room, followed by
Merrill Mace and Miss Robinson,
George Robinson and Miss Scott
Sloan, Clarence Trout and Miss
Mary Sloan, F. Men. Johnston
and Miss Mary Trout, and Clar-
ence Sloan and Miss Bess Trout.
Carriages which were in wait
Ing conveyed the wedding party
To the home of the groom's sis
ters Misses Marion and Jessie
Sloan, where a reception was
held at which about a hundred
and fifty persons were entertain
ed' 1t was the original plan to
nave the reception at the brides
nome, but on account of the ser,
lous illness of her mother, the
arrangement was changed.
The bride and groom will in a
lew days begin housekeeping in
Buffalo, N. Y, where the groom
mas responsible position with
the Standard Oil Company.
