ED. SMITH, JR., MARRIED
Married in Chicago Tuesday at High Noon -- A Pretty Wedding
At high noon on Tuesday occurred the marriage of Mr. Edward Smith, Jr., of this place, to Miss Gertrude Dawson of Chicago, at the home of the latter's parents at 2086 Gladys Avenue.
Rev. T. R. White performed the ceremony, which was witnessed only by the near relatives of the two families.
The house was artisically decorated for the occassion, the bridall party standing in front of a mantle banked with palms, asparagus ferns and carnations.
The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white brittania mull with lace trimmings and carried a boguet (sic) of bridal roses.
Immediately following the ceremony, a delightful luncheon of several courses was served.
The bride is a prominent member of the Presbyterian church and for the past several years has been a most successful teacher in the intermediate department of the high school here. She is a young lady who is much admired for her strength of character and goodness of heart and has a large following of friends.
The groom is one o fthe most prosperous and best known young men in the village, whose industrious habits and sterling worth have won for him much deserved praise.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith will return to Winnebago Saturday, and in a short time will commence housekeeping in a fine new home which has just been completed for them.
