One
of the most pleasant gatherings that has taken place in the Woodhouse
neighborhood for some time was at the residence of Mr. Wm. V. Collver, on
Tuesday, Sept. 28th, it being the marriage of his two daughters, Mary and
Lizzie.
The grooms were Mr. Harry Paskins of Townsend, and Mr. Louis
S. Gerow, of West Bay City, Mich.
About ten o'clock the guests to
the number of about fifty began to arrive, each bringing some token of
remembrance and good wishes for the brides and at 11 o'clock the Rev. Mr.
Bennet, the pastor of the Woodhouse Methodist Church proceeded to arrange
matters to the satisfaction of all parties present.
The brides were
dressed in their travelling dresses and were attended by Miss May Woolley
while Mr. Fred A. Collver, of Vittoria, performed a like office for the
grooms.
After the ceremony the company sat down to a bounteous
repast to which all did ample justice. The presents were both useful
and valuable and showed good judgment on the part of the donors.
The happy couples left in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs.
Paskins going by way of the Shenango to Cleveland and Mr. and Mrs. Gerow
by train for Detroit and Bay City, accompanied by the good wishes of all
their friends.
The girls will be missed from the neighborhood and
especially from the church where they took an active part in the choir and
Christian Endeavor meetings.
