Edith Suter Webber Reed

Edith Suter Webber Reed
(Mrs. Paul Reed)

The following unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Betty Burton of Lowell:

Miss Edith Webber of Cedar Lake and Mr. Paul Reed of Westville, Laporte Co., were united in marriage at the bride's home at high noon of Mar. 24, 1904. The nuptial ceremony was performed by the Rev. D.D. Hoagland, pastor of the Lowell M.E. Church. The bride and groom were attended by Miss G. Castle and Mr. E. Brownell, of Lowell. Miss Bain of the same place rendered the wedding march.

The wedding banquet received its share of justice, and feasting continued until the late hours of the afternoon when the north bound train refused to appear to carry Mr. and Mrs. Reed to Chicago and not until the local rice supply was exhausted, were they permitted to take a circuitous journey, which will finally land them at their home in Westville.

Their many friends of Cedar Lake wish that they might make their home in Lake Co., as their estimable qualities have endeared them to all.

Two other wedding articles from the same page of the scrapbook follows:

Married At the home of the bride's foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Webber, Paisley, Indiana, Thursday, March 24, 1904, at 10:30 a.m., Miss Edith Suter was united in marriage to Paul Reed, a prosperous young farmer, of Westville, Indiana. Rev. D.D. Hoagland performed the ceremony that made them one for life. Miss Gwyneth Castle acted as bride's maid and Ed Brownell as best man. A sumptuous dinner was served. The bride received a large number of useful and valuable presents. The bridal couple left for Chicago, where they will spend a few days, after which they will settle on a farm near Westville, where they will make their future home. We join the many friends of the happy young bride in extending congratulations and best wishes for the future happiness of herself and the husband of her choice.
