Happily Wed

A Pretty Home event and Numerous Guests in Attendance--Peterson--Hartley

 

With Revs. Hershner and Moore officiating, the ring ceremony was performed in an impressive manner at nine o’clock Wednesday morning that united for life Miss Aileen Peterson and Mr. Warren B. Hartley. The event took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Peterson, on Ninth Street, and was witnessed by about 40 guests.

 

Promptly at the appointed house, to the strains of a wedding march skillfully played by Mrs. Cecile Cummings, the happy couple entered the parlor, and standing beneath an arch of asparagus and white perennial peas, were pronounced man and wife. The bride was tastily gowned in cream albatross, and her maid was Miss Bertha Wright, of Shedd Station little Agnes Peterson acting as flower girl. Arthur Belknap was best man. Congratulations over, the wedding party sat down to a delicate breakfast prepared in the dining room, the latter being beautifully decorated in pink and white.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Hartley are well and favorably known in this city, and have the best wishes of many friends. They left on the eleven o’clock train for the Bohemia mines, where they will spend the summer, returning in the autumn to Portland, where they will reside.

--The first of the victims of the Creffield creed to leave the asylum is Rose Seeley. She was practically discharged from the institution as cured a week or tends ago, but did not take final leave until Sunday, when she went to a brother and sister at Oregon City. At the time of her examination for commitment to the asylum, held in the Benton County court house three months ago, she was the chief officer of the sect of Holy Rollers. Her sister, who is in the Boys and Girls home in Portland, is said to be practically cured of her trouble.
