Two weddings in one family is a rare
occurrence in our little town but such an
event took place Tuesday, Aug 3, when
two children Of Rev. ]. K. Williams were
married. The first wedding took place
at 2.3O D. M, at the residence OF Robert
Esden, when his youngest daughter, lsa-
bel G., was married to John K. Williams,
from Minneapolis. The ceremony was
performed by the father of the groom.
A large circle OF relatives of the bride and
groom and a few special friends of the
bride were present. Among the former
from out OF town were Mr.. and Mrs. A.
NJ. Kicker, Miss Alice Kicker and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. NJ. TAFT from St. Johnsbury,
Miss Alice Kicker acting as bridesmaid.
| Several other relatives Of the bride were
present; Rev. and Mrs. ]. K. Williams,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams from
Hudson, Mass, Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth
Johnson from Cleveland, Ohio, DR.. and
Mrs. Edward Williams from East Hamp-
ton, Mass Will Williams from Science

Susan Williams and F. A. Lovejoy from
Roxbury, Mass.
After the ceremony and the usual con-
gratulations, refreshments we're served
and Mr.. and Mrs. Williams with their
children and grandchildren returned to
the parsonage where at 4 80 pm, Sarah
McKeen Williams was united in marriage
to Frederick Alden Lovejoy, the brides
father also performing this ceremony.
The wedding party here comprised only
the Williams family, twenty in all. Mr..

away directly after lunch to take the
train south, Mr.. and Mrs. John Williams

The presents to both brides were nu-
merous and many OF them very valuable,
telling little OF the high estimation in
which these young people were held by
their many friends.
