On Wednesday last at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Daskam, over forty relatives witnessed a very pretty home wedding. The contracting parties were Miss Myra Daskam and Mr. Clifford A. Eddy, Rev. Hull of Ridgeway officiating. This is another marriage that we record with pleasure. The happy couple, having lived all their lives in our community, are both well and favorably known and highly esteemed and we unite with their host of friends in wishing them all the happiness and prosperity they are so worthy of. At twelve o’clock, at the sound of the wedding march rendered by the groom's sister, Mrs. Harrison Cullbert, the couple descended the stairway and entered the parlor, Edith Daskam acting as bridesmaid and Walter Eddy as groomsman, took their respective places and Rev. Hall pronounced the solemn ceremony that united those two hearts and lives as husband and wife. The bride was dressed in pure white. Immediately after the ceremony the company was invited to partake of a bounteous feast prepared in honor of the occasion. Later in the afternoon the guests departed, carrying with them the memory of a very pleasant day and leaving behind them the best wishes for the future happiness of the young couple as well as many valuable and useful presents. Mr. and Mr. Eddy will go to housekeeping on their farm recently purchased and known as the Will Warburton farm.
