Miss Inez Snyder Becomes the Bride of Alvin Cross - 60 Guests Witness Ceremony.

Grandveiw, Ia., Dec. 12. - (Special.) - At the beautiful country home of H.H. Snyder, three miles south of this place, at 7 o'clock last evening took place the marriage of his daughter, Miss Inez, to Alvin Cross, of near Grandview. Sixty guests were present. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E.R. Bartlett, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Mrs. Harold Beik played Mendelssohn's wedding march to the strains of which the young people took their places under a large wedding bell hung in the front parlor. The bride and groom were unattended. The ring service was used in the beautiful ceremony. The bride was charmingly attired in a gown of white charmeuse and shadow lace and beaded trimmings. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Following the ceremony a three course wedding supper was served to the guests in attendance. The house was prettily decorated with pink and white festoonings and cut flowers.

Mr. and Mrs. Cross will make their home for the present with the bride's father.
