Pretty Home Wedding
A very pretty home wedding occurred last Wednesday evening, February 21,
when Miss Martha Zartman and Ward Bruce Hathaway were united in marriage
at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Zartman. Rev.
J.J. Simpson performed the ceremony in the presence of about twenty-five
relatives and friends. The wedding march, "Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus,"
was played by Miss Orra Zartman, sister of the bride. The house was
beautifully decorated with cut flowers, which were distributed among the
guests after the serving of the refreshments.
The newly married couple are among our most highly respected young
people and they have the well wishes of a large circle of friends for a
long and happy wedded life. The young people left immediately after the
ceremony for a wedding trip to Indianapolis and St. Louis, where they
will visit relatives. On returning home they will take up their
residence on the Hathaway farm east of Lowell.
