Morris-Chassereau.

On last Sunday afternoon, Decem-
Der %, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Morris, of Clear Pond, was
filled to overfowing with relatives
and friends who came to witness the
marriage of their daughter, DOME
Elizabeth, to Mr.. jeremiah Chase
reau, Of Ehrhardt.
At $50 the bridal march, played
by Mrs. Frank Copeland, of Ehr-
hardt, began slowly playing when
Rev. P. E. Monroe, pastor Of Ehr-
hardt Lutheran church, took his
place and Mr.. Frank Hires and Miss
Minerva Chassereau, sister of the
groom, came slowly out and took
their places as best man and maid OF
honor and were followed closely by
the groom leading his soon-to-be
bride up to the minister, where they
were soon made one.
Miss Morris was attired in an ashes
gray silk, with white trimmings,
while her maid of honor was dressed
in green silk with white trimmings.
The groom and best man wore black
full dress suits. The organist was
dressed in white silk with applique
trimmings. The bridal party as a
whole was seen at their best and all
went merry.
The parlor and piazza were beau
tifully decorated with yule-hde foil
age and they stood underneath a
canopy of green and white which
was emblematic of the bridal colors.
As Miss Morris, the bride, is a
very sweet and unassuming young
lady, and one of her best qualities is
her record at her church as organist.
She was ever in her place unless pro-
videntially hindered.
Mr.. Chassereau is deservedly popu-
lar among his friends, and has been
in the employ of G.. Ehrhardt & Sons
for quite a while. They will board
for the present with Mr.. and Mrs. G.
Ehrhardt. The writer joins their
many friends in wishing them hun
dred anniversaries and happiness
and prosperity all along the way.
