Double Wedding, Twin Brides.


A wedding quite out of the ordinary
Ellsworth yesterday afternoon. The cir
cumstances that made it rather unique
were that the young ladies who figured in
it were twins, and that it was double
wedding.
As a result OF the service, LYDIA c..
Young became the bride of perley A..
Frost, OF Mariaville, while her twin sister,
Lora c., will be known henceforth as Mrs.
Frank E. Watts. Mr.. Watts lives in Otis,
The sisters are daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arden 5. Young, of Otis, Mr.. Young be-
ing one OF the prominent citizens of that
town, and a man well known in this city.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. p.
A. A. Killam, and while it was not a
double ring service, it was, nevertheless,
the single ring service used twice, which,
to the uninitiated, may sound a little para
doxical.
All of the young people are highly es-
teemed in the up-river country and have
the heartiest good wishes of host OF
friends.
An interesting feature of the marriage
was that each couple signed the others
certificate as witnesses of the ceremony.
incidentally, the officiating minister is
bit puzzled. He had married one hum
dred and ninety mine couples before the
wedding OF yesterday, and as the double
service was used, he is wondering which
couple is the two hundredth. 1t looks
as though both were.
