MARRIED

At the residence of Wm Gustin on the evening of the 13th of July 1863, by M. B. Rees, Esqr., Mr. JOSEPH C. CONINE to Miss EMMA P. BATES.

Also Mr. CHARLES W. MOUDER to Miss SARAH C. POUNDS

The above came with these words appended - "Please add a line." That is I suppose they want a sentiment. Well we are not very good at that business, but here you have it:

Oh, may your heart o'er flow with joys,

Your home with Union girls and boys,

And should they fill your ears with noise

While playing with their pets and toys

May nothing evil e'er possess you.

 

But, if a little Copperhead

Should with you take his board and bed

Just clap your heal upon his head

And keep it there until he's dead -

And God will bless you.

Married, Wednesday evening, February 27th, at the residence of the brides's parents, Mr. William H. Carson and Miss Mary Wiley. Rev. Church officiateing. Shortly after 7 o'clock, the bride and groom marched into the presence of a goodly number of invited guests, and under an arch beautifully decorated with evergreen and roses, took the vows that bound them together for life. The bride looked lovely, wearing a dress of light wool, richly trimmed in ribbon and lace. The groom looked his best and manliest. After the congratulations were received, the bride and groom led the way to one of the best suppers that it was ever our fortune to sit down to. Everything that could tempt the palate of an epicure was there, and to which we all did ample justice. They received many beautiful and useful presents, but we haven't room to enumerate them. We hardly know whether to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Wiley on the gain of a son, or to sympathize with them in the loss of their only daughter, but all join in wishing the couple a happy journey together through life. They will shortly go to house keeping on a farm four miles north of Woodburn. One of the peculiarities of this marriage is that four of the aged grand parents were present, Mr. and mrs. David Danner and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tedrow.
