A very pretty wedding occurred on Wednesday evening, June 1, at the Presbyterian church, when Miss Edith Anne Tate was united in Marriage to Dr. R. A. Morton of Cresco, Iowa.
The church, which was beautifully decorated in pink and white was well filled with relatives and near friends of the bride and groom.
Just at 8 o'clock, Promise Me, was sung by Miss Alma Wilson, of Lincoln, Neb. Following this the bridal party made its appearance as Mendelssohn’s wedding march was played by Miss Ora Cook.
The bride accompanied by her sisters, Katherine and Mary approached the altar by the left aisle, as the groom accompanied by Clyde Williams and and{sic} Archibald Scott, came up the right.
During the soft strains of Meddelssohn{sic} the ceremony was solemnized by Rev. Albert Aston assisted by Rev. Walter M. Irwin, after which the bridal party returned to the bride’s home where Mrs. Tate gave a reception in honor of Dr. and Mrs. R. A. Morton.
The bride wore a simple but beautiful gown of white and carried a boquet of white roses.
The ushers at the church were Myrtle Newman, Bessie Benham. Blanche Booker, Elizabeth Pomeroy and Bess Morton.
The bride is one of Shelby’s most charming young ladies and will be grealy{sic} missed by her many friends.
The groom is a graduate of dentistry at State University of Iowa.
The best wishes of a host of friends go with Dr. and Mrs. Morton to Cresco, Iowa, where they will be at home after June 20.
