After all had partaken of the finest dinner that could be served, the
guests were entertained by the Misses Snavely and others with some
excellent vocal and instrumental music. At 8 o'clock nearly all of the
guests from a distance had bid the happy bride and groom a pleasant
prosperous future, and returned to their homes with happy faces and
pleasant words.

The writer trusts that no one will be offended by the omission of
honorable mention, as he was not acquainted with all present, and space
crowds out much that should be mentioned.
