MARRIED:--April l5, l89l at the residence of JOHN WOODMANSEE, in Grand
River Township, BURGESS W. GARRETT to MISS RACHEL WOODMANSEE.  The
contracting parties in this marriage are well known to most of the
readers of the JOURNAL.  About seventy-five invited guests gathered in
anticipation of the happy event.

At 8 p.m. the joyful strains of Lowell's band march, played by PROF.
A.E. MILLER, sounded through the parlors, when the groom and bride
appeared, MR. SAM. GRAYSON being the groom's righthand man and MISS EVA
GARRETT bridesmaid.  The bridegroom and bride were both elegantly
attired--the latter in cream-colored silk.  BRO. W.E. JONES, of the
Christian Church, tied the nuptial knot with the beautiful and
impressive marriage ceremony of his church.

Congratulations were now extended to the happy pair, after which J.W.
SNAVELY presented the presents - tokens of respect and esteem of the
assembled friends.  After the presentation, the wedding feast was
announced.  We must say that for bounteous plenty and unexcelled variety
and preparation, this feast has never been equalled in our experience.
High carnival and joy ranged around the festal board until a late hour,
when each to their several homes returned, after wishing a long and
prosperous life to the newly wedded couple.
