Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 3 Oct 1891 p 3 -- Herbert H. Gortner, of Goshen, Ind and Miss Maude Galey of this city were quietly married on Sept 24 at the home of the bride's parents in Englewood. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the only persons present were the bride's family, groom's parents from Goshen and FL Snyder of Joplin, Mo. The marriage ceremony occurred at half past 8 o'clock and was performed by Rev. EB Thomson of this city, the bride being attired in a neat traveling dress and groom in the customary black. At midnight the newly married couple left on the Big Four for Cincinnati where they will remain until some time next week when after av isit to Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo they will leave for their future home in Goshen. In about 3 weeks they will go to housekeeping there in a beautiful home which now awaits their arrival. It has been long since a wedding occurred here which has created more favorable comment than that of last evening, the young couple being most deservedly poular in the social circles of this city. The bride has lived in Crawfordsville all her life and Crawfordsville surrenders most reluctantly this beautiful, modest and refined lady than whom a bride more generally and thoroughly respected and beloved never left or entered her precincts. The groom is likewise well known here, having spent four years in Wabash College from which he graduated in the class of '90. While in school he made hosts of friends by his gentlemanly conduct on all occasions and won the respect of his instructors by his high standard of scholarship. After graduation he entered at once as a member of the firm, the well known Goshen house, "The Hawkes Hardware Company" and has succeeded admirably in this business. He is regarded as one of the most enterprising young business men in northern Indiana and no better compliment could be paid him than to say that he stands as high in the estimation of Goshen as in that of Crawfordsville. The marriage consumated last night was a most felicitous one in every particular and The Journal with all Crawfordsville takes the greatest pleasure in extending its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. HH Gortner for a long, useful prosperous and happy married life.
