Adrian Clevinger, and Miss Ida M. Parks, of Morocco, were united in marriage at the M.E. parsonage in Crown Point, Saturday by the Rev. Ayling. The groom is the son of Mrs. Etta Celvinger and is a young man who has the esteem of a large circle of friends. The young couple left for a short honeymoon trip after which they will return to Lowell where they will make their future home.
