    2. Source, Rutland (Vt) Daily Herald--Tues.Nov. 24,1891. WEDDING AT ST. PETER'S. Miss Annie Gooley and T. W. Moloney Married Yesterday Morning at 9 O'clock. Miss Annie Gooley and Thomas W. Moloney were married yesterday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Peter's Catholic church. The church was crowded, many people being obliged to stand up in the aisles and at the rear. It was probably one of the largest gatherings ever assembled at a wedding in St. Peter's. The bride appeared in her traveling dress of blue silk. The maid of honor was Miss Mamie Gooley, a sister of the bride, and the best man was Dr. J. H. Reilly. The ushers were S. C. Clifford, John W.Burke, P.A.Clifford and Richard Ryan. As the bridal party entered the church Mendelssohn's wedding march was played on the organ by Miss Maggie Clifford.The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. J. Gaffney, other priests present being Rev. D.C.Coffey and Rev. Father Barrett of Fair Haven. Immediately after the ceremony there was a solo by Miss Cherry of New York city, who has a rich soprano voice, and a duet by Miss Cherry and Rev. Father Coffey, following which low mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Gaffney. After the wedding the bridal party went to the residence of Mrs. F. Chaffee on South Man street, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served, followed by a reception. One room was set apart for the display of the many gifts received by the bride; chief among them was a warranty deed of the house and lot on State street now occupied by George T. Chaffee, from F. Chaffee's estate, which was in accordance with a request of Mr. Chaffee before his death. Mr. and Mrs. Moloney left for New York on the passenger train over the Bennington and Rutland road at 11:15 o'clock, and will visit Washington before returning. They have engaged rooms at the Berwick house for the winter.
