Married at the bride's
residence near the thriving village of Weissert, on Sunday April 22nd, Mr.
Baseman Taylor, late of Seward, but at present a resident of Westerville,
to Miss Maggie E. Shore, of Weissert.
The above seems to be a brief
item of a few short words, and yet in our social circles it throws all
other topics of conversation into the shade. Rev. Kyle, of Douglas
Grove, tied the knot that completed the act of welding two loving sould
into one and two throbbing hearts to beat in loving unison, which we hope
may continue through all the vicisitudes of a long and happy life.
Upward of fifty guests were present to witness and partake of the goodness
and sweetness that the joyous occasion so lavishly afforded. Mr.
Ambrose young served in the capacity of the goom's best mand and Miss
Alice Taylor of Seward, with nymph like grace, acted as bridesmaid and
last to be mentioned, but not by any means least in importantance among
the list of attending officials, that prince of courteous etiquette,
Samuel D. Jones, of Westerville, occupied the resonsible position of
master of ceremonies, and echoes of his praise are still ringing through
Clear Creek Valley, of the masterly manner in which he conducted the
various and divers matters that called into requistion his skill, tact and
good every day sense. A list of the many useful, beautiful and
ornamental presents would occupy too much space in your valuable columns
for us to catalogue them all, and to mention a part only would maphap give
offense to those persons whose presents were not enumerated; let it
suffice to give you a partial list of those guests who were honored by an
invitation and who seem never to tire of reciting the pleasant and amusing
incidents that occurred to enliven this happy couple's wedding day:
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hickenbottom, Joseph Speese, Wm. Amos, Bose Campbell,
Samuel D. Jones, Harvey Smith, W.S. Shore, A. Richardson, Mrs. Susan
Speese, Miss Alice Taylor, of Ansley, Miss Amanda Conrad, of Broken Bow,
Mr. Radford Speese and Mr. James S. Shore of Westerville. Many
others were in attendance whose names we cannot at present recall.
Taken all in all it came the nearest to being an up to date nuptial
ceremony that we ever had the pleasure to
witness
