Wood-Cavanaugh.
A surprise to many people was the wedding, this afternoon, at 2:30 p. m., of Miss Mary Cavanaugh, the popular instructor of art in the college and public schools, and Earl Wood. It was a very pretty affair for which only relatives and the more intimate friends were asked. The bride has been the house guest of Mrs. Alexander Blackford Purman, a very close personal friend, and it was quite fitting that she should be married there, since her mother is dead, and her father living in Vera Cruz, Mexico.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Richard Maloney, rector of St. Ann’s.
The bride looked lovely in her dainty gown of ecru voile, traveling coat of ecru taffeta and picture hat.
The bride has had her home in Waynesburg for over a year and has made unnumbered friends by her gentle manners and womanly ways.
The groom is the son of Mr. Joshua Wood, one of the solid and substantial citizens of our town. He himself is an oil well contractor, and was a valuable member of Co. K. Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Both young people are socially popular and prominent. Immediately after the ceremony, the newly-wedded folk left for an extended trip through the New England states and Canada. Upon their return they will be at home to their friends after October 1, in their home on Washington street.—Waynesburg (Pa.) Daily Times.
The bride will be remembered by many Howard county people where she was formerly one of its school teachers, She is a neice{sic} of M. Barrett, of Cresco, with whose family she made her home for several years after graduating from the Acadamy{sic} of the Visitation in Dubuque, in 1891.
