Catholic church on Tuesday morning, at 7:30, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Father Barron in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and
friends. Miss Anna Delaney, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid, and Mr.
Patrick K. Swain, brother of the bride, was groomsman.

This afternoon a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Swain, to which numerous invitations were extended and a grand
dance was held during the evening.

Dubuque, Chicago and other eastern points of about two weeks in duration.
On their return, they will commence housekeeping in the home arranged for
them by the groom.
