Martin-Watkinson,

Some time ago we mentioned the fact that Alex. Martin, formerly of this city was married and promised that, as soon as we received the particulars, would tell all about it. The following facts were handed us last week, too late for the forms and we take pleasure in giving it now:

The bride was Miss Margaret Watkinson, and she was the daughter of John and Agnes Watkinson, the family coming to this country about a year ago from England.

The ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride in Greenburg, Penn., on September 11, 1906, a christian minister, name not given, officiating.

We take keep pleasure in extending to Mr. and Mrs. Martin best wishes for a long and happy life, and wish to assure the bride that she has for a partner one of the best young men that ever left our state. Alex. has lived here many years and counts every man his warm friend and all will join then the Bee in offering congratulations.
