YEAMAN---MOORE

George Yeaman, contractor, and
Miss Edythe Moore, one Of the val
ley's most popular young ladies,
were united in marriage at the home
of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. W. Moore, near Finley,
Sunday afternoon at 2:3O. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
l.. l.. Hursey of this city and was
witnessed by the family of the bride
and twenty-five of the friends Of
both.
The house was decorated with
roses, carnations and ferns which
were prettily arranged, furnishing
an attractive background for the
wedding guests and the bride and
groom.
Mrs. Yeaman is the eldest
daughter of the family and has
been a resident of the valley for
the past five years. She took an
active part in the social life of Fin
ley and her happy disposition and
charm of manners made her well
loved by large circle of friends.
The groom came to Finley several
months ago to build the new brick
school house which is the pride of
the lower valley and it was while
experimenting its erection that he
met Miss Edythe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yeaman will enjoy
a short honeymoon trip in Oregon
and will visit the Rose Carnival at
Portland before returning to Nab
ton. They will ultimately make
their home in North Yakima.
