I decided to send this to the list also as it is very interesting and includes a lot of names. From the Evening Times, Cumberland Maryland, 1907 Pekin, Maryland, April 27. Last evening St. Gabriel's Church at Barton, was the scene of a very pretty wedding when Mr. William Martin, son of Mr. Patrick Martin and Miss Rose Mullen, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Mullen, of this place, were united in matrimony. Miss Loretta Martin, of Lonaconing, niece of the bride acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. James Martin, brother of the groom was best man. At 4:30 the bridal party entered the church and proceeded to the altar, where the Rev. Fr. Quinn, of St. Gabriel's parish performed the ceremony. The bride and bridesmaid were beautifully gowned in white Persian Lawn, with hat, gloves and slippers to match, and both carried brides roses. The bridegroom and bestman wore black. At 6 o'clock the guests were invited to the dining room where they were invited to partake of a beautiful supper. After all did justice to the delacacies of the repass, they repaired to the parlor where music, both vocal and intrumental, and other enjoyments were indulged in until eleven o'clock when each and all departed for home. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are two of Pekin's most prominent young folks, with a large circle of friends, who wish them much happiness and prosperity on their journey through life. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John Martin and family, of Lonaconing, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mullen and family of Detmold, Md., Michael Clupp, John Mullen, Thomas Staken, of Midland, Messrs. Joseph Mullen, Walter, John, James, Roy and Julius Martin of Pekin; Misses Christina and Addie Ricker, of Demold, Maria and Lydia Elbeck, Anna Wilkinson, Loretta Cavan and Ethel Martin, of Pekin. The couple received very many beautiful and useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Martin will reside in Pekin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Sullivan" <sully723@gmail.com> To: <PAWESTMO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 11:46 AM Subject: [PAWESTMO-L] Seeking information > Seeking Cencus/Obituary Information for: > Michael Clupp d.

Dawne, Thank you for posting this article to the list! In over a year of reading these postings, this is the first time I have seen mention of any of my family! I am connected to the MARTIN family and have considerable information on this family which I am eager to share with anyone who is interested. However, I have no record of William or James MARTIN among the 9 children of Patrick MARTIN and Ellen BURKE of Pekin, Maryland and would love to hear from anyone who may know of them. Are they sons of a different Patrick MARTIN? The Mr. & Mrs. John MARTIN mentioned in the article are John Aloysius MARTIN (oldest child of Patrick MARTIN and Ellen BURKE) and Mary MULLEN, sister of the bride. The maid of honor in the article, Miss Loretta MARTIN, is their daughter. My connection is with Margaret Loretto MARTIN, 5th child of Patrick MARTIN and Ellen BURKE. She married Thomas Francis O'CONNELL, a neighbor and son of John O'CONNELL and Johanna MURPHYof Mallow, Co. Cork, Ireland. Maggie and T. J. O'CONNELL lived in Chicago and coincidentally (to Michael CLUPP) later lived in Jeannette, Westmoreland County, PA where their daughter, Loretta O'CONNELL married James C. Murphy of Greensburg who worked for Westinghouse (as did Mr. Clupp). Small world! It's not a stretch to think they were aquatinted with each other since Maggie's brother, John A. MARTIN and Michael's CLUPP's wives (Mary & Rose MULLEN) were sisters. Dawne - Are you able to search the Evening Times for a marriage announcement for Margaret Loretto MARTIN and T.J. O'CONNELL? The date I have is June 12, 1888 in Barton, Maryland, most likely at St. Gabriel's. You seem to have access to the most amazing and varied sources and are very generous with them. I often read your postings. Thank you.
