Triplett-Harris wedding.

Wednesday at 2 p.m. Miss Edith A. Harris, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. Harris, was united in marriage with Mr. J. E. Triplett, of Atlantic, the Rev. E. S. Hill of Atlantic, officiating. It was just as the clock was striking two, while Miss Randolph was playing the bridal march from Lohengrin, that the wedding couple, preceeded by the groom’s brother, Grant Triplett, and Miss Mae McIlvane, entered the room, Dr. Hill with impressiveness pronounced the most appropriate and beautiful ceremony, the Rev. Hinkhouse invoked the Divine blessing, and “Mr. and Mrs. Triplett” received the congratulations and good wishes of those assembled. There were present from Atlantic, Mr. and Mrs. Triplett, parents of the groom, also an aunt and a sister; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harris, uncle and aunt of Dr. Harris; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Harris, cousins of Dr. Harris; Miss May Lamb and Mr. and Mrs. Tobins, friends. There were also present a few near friends from this vicinity. The presence of Dr. Hill, an old friend of both families and the honored pastor of the Congregational church of Atlantic, for the past quarter of a century, was a source of much enjoyment to all.

The bride is a graduate of our high school and has successfully taught for several terms. She is a beautiful girl and in every way seems fitted to make home a joy. The groom is a fine appearing young man and of good education and address. He served his country in the Spanish-American war. His parents have a good farm home a few miles north west of Atlantic and with them the bride and groom will make their home for the present. These two families are of old acquaintance and the marriage seems to be an appropriate and happy one. May it be blessed with life’s choicest gifts! –Audubon Republican.
