I hope this informantion will help someone. I would like to hear from anyone if a name rings a bell. The announcement follows: SMITH - BARKER A pretty home wedding occurred last evening at eh winter residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman H. Barker of Middletown, on Gardner street in this city, when their eldest daughter, Miss Della Barker, was united in marriage to Mr. Robert E. Smith, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Millard F. Smith of Paradise avenue, Middletown. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. W. Kingsley of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Middletown. The bride and groom were attended by the ushers, Mr. J. William Brown and Mr. Walter Barker, the brid elooking charming in a gown of pale green voile, trimmed with white chiffon, ? en traine. She carried a large bouquet of bride roses tied with white satin ribbon.....(section trimmed out here).....guests present. The presents were handsome and included large gifts in money. The Bridal March from "Lohengrin" was played by Miss Sadie E. Peckham and Miss Sadie I. Peckham gave several selections on the piano after the reception which followed the c! eremony. Refreshments were served. Much merriment was caused by the bride's tossing down her bouquet as she ascended the stairs, and by the heavy showering of confetti as she and her husband entered their carriage. A large delegation escorted them to the New York boat, where they were given a rousing "send-off" by their friends. Upon their return they will reside on Paradise avenue. Among the guests were the choir of the Middletown Methodist Church, of which body Mrs. Smith has been an active member for many years. (Nov 18, 1903 - newspaper presumably Newport, RI.)
