Spence-Bishop
Wednesday afternoon witnessed the
elimination of a pretty little ro-
nance, when Miss Florence Spence
became the wife of Edwin Sherwood
Bishop, of Milwaukee, at the home of
James Spence in the town of Somers.
Both were students together at the
University of Wisconsin and it was at
Madison that their romance began.
The wedding took place at the home
of the brides father, James Alex
ander Spence, and, while marked by
simplicity, was one of the prettiest of
the June weddings. The house was
tastefully decorated in green, while
masses of pink and white carnations
furnished the dominant note in the
color scheme.
AS the strains of the Lohengrin
wedding march sounded the bridal
party entered the par1or through an
aisle made by pink and white rib
bons and took their places under a
canopy of green. The maid of honor,
Miss Elsie Cady, of Green Bay, wore a
simple frock of pink chiffon grenadine
and carried shower bouquet of pink
sweet peas. She was follywed by the
bride and her father. The bride wore
a beautiful gown of white embroidered
null over white silk and carried a
shower 'bouqut of white sweet peas.
Mr.. Bishop was attended by his
brother, A. A. Bishop, of Racine
Rev. J. M. Broadly, of the Presbyter-
ian church of Somers, read the mar
rage service.
