"MARRIED".-- At the home of the bride's parents in Lacy Grove, at 8:30 P.M., Wednesday, June 26, 1895, Miss Jessie Polk to Mr. Lucius J. Abbey, Rev. W. F. Bartholomew officiating. Very handsome invitations had been issued for the occasion and a large company of selected guests were present at the ceremony. At the hour appointed an appropriate wedding march was played by Miss Maud Lowery, when the bridal party took their position surrounded by a display of laurel wreathes, and the reverberation of the music ceased, the solemn and impressive words of the minister bound them together. A costly display of presents were generously bestowed by loving friends and an elegant supper gave dignity and grandeur to the occasion. The bride is in posssession of the all the qualifications of a noble young lady and needs no introduction as all know her especially from her quiet manner and gentle dispositon, and she has also for the past two years been one of our most successful school teachers. Mr. Abbey is our county Recorder, a quiet, unassuming, Christian young man, strictly attentive to his official duties and in no way lacking those charctersitics which constitute the elements of true manhood. The best wishes of friends go with them as they pass from beneath the parental roof, and enter in the practical reality of the estalishment of a home of their own with the people of Sidney. Rev. D. A. Allen, pastor of the M. E. church at Hamburg, was present on the occasion and assisted Pastor Bartholomew in the performance of the marriage ceremony.
