Thursday, August l7, l899

Wednesday night, August 9th, occurred one of the greatest social events of the season, at the home of MR. JAS. E. TEALE, it being the marriage of his daughter, MISS EDITH to MR. NELSON KING. None but relatives and most intimate friends were present to witness the ceremony. The rooms were beautifully decorated with ferns and hot house plants. About 9 o'clock the bride and groom, attended by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, descended the stairs at the strains of the wedding march which was played by MISS KATIE TEALE. Rev. Newland preceded them to the beautifully festooned archway, where the nuptial knot was tied in an impressive manner. The bridesmaids were MISSES ESTELLA TEALE and ALICE JEFFRIES, and the groomsmen, Messrs. HARVEY TEALE and WILLIARD JEFFRIES.

The bride's costume of white dimity trimmed in brocaded silk, gave a pleasing effect to her joyous and radient countenance.

The groom was appropriately dressed in conventional black.

Congratulations were the next feature of the evening, after which the guests were invited to the dining room to partake of a sumptuous and elegant repast.

About 11:30 strains of music from without, proclaimed the presence of the Davis City Cornet Band. After rendering several selections they repared to the dining room upon invitation of A.L. TEALE.

A short programme had been prepared for the occasion, MISSES KATIE and ESTELLA TEALE executed a brilliant instrumental duet, followed by a vocal solo by Miss Winnie Craig. The programme closed by a piano solo by Miss Gertie Craig.

MISS TEALE is the youngest daughter of MR. JAS. E. TEALE of this city. She is a refined and accomplished young lady and needs no introduction to our society people.

MR. KING has resided here a little more than two years, and has proven to be an upright and energetic young gentleman.

MR. and MRS. KING will make their home at present at the residence of the bride's father. Their many friends wish them unlimited happiness and prosperity.

Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Jeffries and family; Mr. and Mrs. Carter Scott and family; Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Teale and family; Mr. and Mrs. Sam'l Frazier and daughter, Hazel; Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Teale; Mr. and Mrs. S.G. Mitchell; Rev. E.C. Newland and wife; Misses Sibyl Lanning, Inez Williams, Lillian Van Winkle, Gertie Craig, Nettie Sutherland, Winnie Craig, Ella Van Winkle; Messrs.
