Promptly at 9 o’clock the bride entered the church supported by her father, Hon. D. A. Lyons and proceeded to the altar, the strains of Mendelsohn‘s wedding march filling the church with its melody. They were met by the groom and J. P. Kane of Chicago as best man. Miss Inez Hughes acting as bridesmaid.
The church was filled with the friends and relatives of the respective families of the parties. The bride was beautifully attired for the occasion. After the ceremony the bridal party, relatives and guests proceeded to the home of the bride’s parents where a wedding breakfast was served, the house having been elegantly trimmed with fragrant flowers and blooming plants. Numerous beautiful and costly presents with many congratulations from admiring friends of which they were the recipients, both are well known and highly respected, and merit the esteem in which they are held.
