On last Wednesday at one o'clock Prof. D.R. Sumstine and Miss Stella McDowell left on the train for Greensburg where they secured a marriage license and then went to the residence of Rev. W.F. Ulery of that city, where they were quietly married. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Ulery according to the Lutheran church after which the happy couple left for Pittsburg returning to the bride's home on Friday evening where a very excellent supper was served to the newly wedded couple and a few of their friends. The Ligonier Cornet band called upon them during the evening and gave them a very appropriate musical serenade and were royally entertained. The small and large boy was also on hand with his noise and rattle. Prof. Sumstine is a graduate of Thiel college, and successfully served as principal of our public schools last year to which position he was reelected but resigned to accept the principalship of the Apollo schools. Prof. Sumstine left Saturday to take charge ! of his new position, Mrs. Sumstine remaining with her parents for a short time. They expect to go housekeeping in Apollo about the holidays. The Echo extends its congratulations. ______________________________________________
