Miss Gertrude Agnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Agnes, and Mr.
Clarence Burrill, of Sioux City, were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony Wednesday morning at half past nine o'clock at St. Joseph's
Catholic church in Akron, Rev. D.K. Hurley officiating. This was one of
the prettiest weddings of the season and many relatives and friends were
in attendance at the nuptial mass.

Promptly at the appointed hour the bride entered on her father's arm,
accompanied by her sister, Miss Olive, as maid of honor and her cousin,
Miss Vivian McCarter of Sheldon, bridesmaid. There were met at the
altar by the groom, accompanied by Messrs. Bain and Dougherty, of Sioux
City, as groomsmen. Little Rosie Hoffman as flower girl preceded the
bridal procession. Miles Dee and Matthew Agnes acted as ushers.

The bride was beautifully gowned in white satin and carried a large
bouquet of white roses. Her attendants were dressed in pink and carried
arm bouquets of roses. After the ceremony the bridal party repaired to
the bride's home where a reception and dinner was given to a large
number of invited guests. The bride has lived in Akron all her life and
has a large circle of friends. The groom holds an excellent position as
salesman for the Hicks, Fuller-Pierson Co., of Sioux City. He is a
nephew of W. W. Burrill, of Akron, and is very favorably known in the
vicinity.

Mr. and Mrs. Burrill left Wednesday afternoon for a trip to Denver and
other points in the west, and will return to Sioux City, where they will
make their home, by way of Minneapolis and Chicago. They have the
congratulations and best wishes of a large number of friends in this
community.

At the Church of St. Patrick, in this city, October 22, 1913, Clarence
William Burrill and Miss Gertrude Cecelia Agnes were united in holy
wedlock by the beautiful and impressive Catholic rites administered by
their pastor, Rev. D. K. Hurley, in the presence of a large gathering of
relatives and friends.

At 9:30 o'clock the bridal party entered the church to the time of the

where they sacred vows were taken. The bridal procession was unusually
pretty. The bride, supported by her father, M. A. Agnes, proceeded by
the sweet and dainty little flower girl, Rosie Hoffman, and accompanied
by Miss Vivien McCarthy as bridesmaid and Miss Olive Agnes as maid of
honor, were met at the high altar by the groom and by Messrs. James Bain
and Frank Doherty, who acted as groomsmen.

charmeuse, with pearl trimmings, wearing a white veil and carrying a
beautiful bouquet of Killarney roses.

Following the ceremony, the bridal party went to the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Agnes, where an informal reception was held
by relatives and a splendid three-course wedding breakfast partaken of.
