Happily Wedded.

At the M. E. parsonage, in Bentonsport yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock occurred the marriage of Miss Bernice Cresap and Mr. Chas. S. Stebbins, Rev. E. J. Smith performing the ceremony.

The bride, a daughter of our townsman, J. H. Cresap, is a highly respected young lady and well known to the people in town and the surrounding community, having served some time as deputy in the postoffice. She is a skilled musician and has for the past several years acted as an organist in the M. E. church.

The groom, who owns the Stebbins restaurant and meat market, is a young man of rare business ability, and one who considers his town the best in the state.

They commenced housekeeping in the Wilcoxen property, which the groom had previously furnished, and are now at home to their many friends. As they have been life-long residents of this town, all join the RECORD in wishes for a long, happy, prosperous life.
