Matrimonial.       

A delightful wedding party occupied the Reformed church parsonage Thursday evening.  At half past five o'clock Rev. N. D. Williamson married Mr. Charles H. McGinness, of Elkhart, and Miss Sarah C. McClure, of Lafayette, Ind.  Their attendants were Mr. J. C. Collins and Miss M. E. Moran, of Elkhart.  They were a genial and happy company, who left a very pleasant impression of their visit and went on their way rejoicing.  The groom has been a hotel clerk for many years.  They were the guests of the Reynolds house while in the city and left on the noon train Friday.  The deputy county clerk being at the desk in the court house when the marriage license was issued the document was well fortified with "Macs," having four names on it with that prefix.

The Peffley-Hollinshead Nuptials.        A wedding ceremony in which Warren township as well as other parts of the county will be largely interested, was performed in the Reformed church parsonage in the city last Sunday, Dec. 9.  At 6 o'clock Mr. Daniel W. Peffley and Miss Cora Hollinshead were married by Rev. N. D. Williamson.  The bride, who is a daughter of Morgan E. Hollinshead, Esq., is well and favorably known as a member of society and as a teacher in the schools of the township.  The groom, who is serving his third term as trustee of the township, and is widely known and esteemed, is a son of the late Rev. Joseph Peffley.  The happy couple went directly to the home of the groom, where they will be pleased to see their numerous friends.  May their home and their lives be always full of happiness.

Baer, the popular and skillful operator of the Bulletin's [italicized] associated press wire, were celebrated at 12 o'clock Saturday at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Yerrington, on River avenue, Laurel hill.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. A. Yerrington of New York, uncle of the bride, and was witnessed only by the immediate family.  The two little nieces of the bride acted as maids of honor.  The presents were valuable.  A wedding breakfast was served.  At 2:45 p. m.
