KENTUCKIAN WINS LE MARS BRIDE
MISS CATHERINE KELLIHER AND BERNARD ABEL ARE UNITED IN MARRIAGE ON TUESDAY
AT ST. JAMES CHURCH—WILL LIVE IN CINCINNATI.

A pretty wedding took place at the St. James church on Tuesday morning when
Miss Catherine A. Kelliher and Bernard H. Abel were united in marriage. The
ceremony which was performed by Rev. Father E. O’Farrell, was witnessed by
relatives and a few intimate friends. The bride was attired in a most
becoming dress of blue tricotine, with fur coatee and hat and gloves to
match. Following the ceremony at the church, the bridal party drove to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Krier, where a four course wedding breakfast was
served. The decorations were pink and white, the chosen colors of the
bride, and chrysanthemums and autumn flowers were effective in the pretty
surroundings. A five o’clock dinner was given in honor of the young people
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Heller, in Marion township, where the chosen
bridal colors made effective decorations.

Mr. and Mrs. Abel left in the evening on a honeymoon trip south and will be
at home after December 15, at 1417 West Ohio street, Indianapolis.

The bride is a daughter of James Kelliher of this city, and was born and
grew up here, and is a young woman of many accomplishments and very popular.
Mr. Abel, whose home is at St. Joseph, Kentucky, came here a few years ago
and has been employed on farms and at the automobile business. He made a
number of friends, while living here, and is a progressive young man and has
a pleasing personality.
