Kershaw-Crosby

Crosby, when their eldest daughter,
Miss Ethel, was given in marriage to
Mr.. James Gustave Kershaw of Mi
ami.
The ceremony took place in the two
large front rooms of the Crosby resi-
dence on Tuscawilla street. The dec
orations, tho simple, were artistic and
in the best of taste. On mantle and
tabouret stood large vases of pink
and white roses, and around the
rooms, on curtains and over the pic
lures, feathery fern fronds and bam-
boo were twined. At one end of the
sitting room an altar of white was ar
ranged, and was surrounded by palms
and ferns in pots and jardinieres. An
immense wedding bell, under which
the bridal couple stood, was suspended
from the center of an arch twined
with bamboo and fern.
In the interval between the assem-
bling of the guests and the ceremony,
Miss CeciIe Downs sang, "Love, !
Have Won and Held You," and "a
Perfect Day" Miss Ellen Clarkson
played the accompaniment.
The bridal party entered to the
strains of the. Lohengrin wedding
march, played by Miss GARRISON. Miss
Crosby was gowned in white taffeta,
with hat, gloves and shoes to mtach.
Her attendants were Miss Tommie
Standby, maid of honor; Miss Mildred
Crosby, flower girl; Misses Sara Rentz
and Marion Meffert, ribbon girls; ].
w. Crosby Jr. and Lester Kershaw,
pages. At the altar they were met by
the groom and his best man, Mr.. Har-
ley Moseley of Tampa, and the Off
ciating clergyman, Rev. J. M. Gross,
who in the impressive words of the
Methodist church marriage service
soon made them man and wife.
Only immediate relatives and few
near friends witnessed the marriage,
but Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held, during which
many called to congratulate the bride
and groom, and bid them farewell. In
|receiving the guests, Mrs. Crosby was
assisted by Mrs. R. S. Hall, Mrs. T. e.
Bridges, Mrs. G. Fl. Lloyd, Mrs. D. w.
Tompkins and Mrs. w. A. Knight. A
pretty musical program was rendered
by Miss Mamie Gross with the piano
and Miss Gladys Martin on the violin.
A salad course of chicken, sandwiches,
saltines, olives, sailed nuts and coffee
was served by Misses Nellie Gottlieb,
Adele Bittinger, Martha Kate Rentz,
Helen Brown and Ellen Clarkson.
During the. receiving hour the bride
donned her travelling dress, a hand
some creation of old rose taffeta, with
hat, gloves and shoes to match, and
with the congratulations and good
wishes of all she and her husband left
on the afternoon Seaboard train for
jacksonville, which place they will
leave, via boat, for Miami, the home
Of the groom, where they expect to at
once commence housekeeping.
Mrs. Kershaw is graduate of our
high school, and with the exception of
few years when the family resided
in Tampa, she has lived almost her
entire life in Ocala. She is an accom-
plished and lovely young lady, and
possesses the sincere friendship of all
who know her.
Mr.. Kershaw was formerly a resi-
dent of Tampa, and made the &C.
quaintance of his bride when they both
lived in that city. Later he removed
to Miami and took responsible posi-
ton with a leading firm of that city.
He is young man of sterling quail
ties and possesses the confidence of a
large circle of friends.
