Clark-Overmyer Nuptials On last Wednesday evening a large number of invited guests assembled at the residence of Mr. And Mrs. J. D. Overmyer, to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Lena M., to Mr. John J. Clark. By 7 o’clock, the appointed hour, the spacious parlor was well filled and all were eager to get the first glimpse of the handsome couple. A few minutes past seven Mrs. Josephine Coots began playing the wedding march as the bridal party slowly marched in, led by the Rev. L. C. Smith. They took a position under a large wedding bell, suspended from the ceiling. Rev. L. C. Smith then stepped forward and in a most impressive manner tied the knot that bound the two loving hearts together, and with the blessings of God, pronounced them man and wife. The bride wore a dress of cream colored cashmere, trimmed in white silk and pearl lace and looked very pretty. The groom wore the proverbial suit of black, and the two made as handsome a couple as one could wish to see. The bridesmaid, Miss Cora Webb, wore a dress of cream colored satinet, trimmed with silk lace, while the groomsman, Mr. R. E. Simpson, like McGinty, was dressed in his best suit of clothes. http://www.millvillehistoryshasta.com/Overmyer.htm
