GRAY, by the Rev. Dr. PATTILO of the Methodist church. The bride, a tall, stately brunette, was attired in white silk, the yoke fashioned of satin and faggoting, with accordeon plaided bertha, and the new style full skirt. Mr. and Mrs. ADAMS left on the 6 p.m. train for St. Louis. After viewing the Fair for some days they will visit Chicago and other Eastern cities. they will be at their home, 304 Cherry street, which has been recently purchased by the groom and remodeled and beautifully furnished throughout, about September 15. Mr. ADAMS is an exemplary young man, and has for some years been connected with the postoffice in this city. Their many friends extend congratulations to the happy pair." I welcome any inquiries about this bible, but most of all would like to pass this on to Naomi Wood's family. If you have any information, please contact me. Thanks. **************************************************************** Carolyn Johnson-Burns Publicity Chair and Recording Secretary Montgomery County Chapter, Ohio Genealogy Society carolynjburns@msn.com http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/4023/ Researching: BELL BROCKSICK COMPTON CRITTON HENDERSON HERR HOOPINGARNER JOHNSON LIGHTFOOT MORGAN NICKEL REYNOLDS SAUVAGO SMOUSE STOKER ****************************************************************
