GILBERT-PEARD December 28, 1901 Mariposa Gazette: GILBERT-PEARD.

On the evening of Dec. 25th at 8:30 o’clock Mr. James A. GILBERT and Miss Emma PEARD were married at the home of the bride’s mother in Princeton. The marriage was with the beautiful ring ceremony of the Methodist church and was performed by Rev. D. HARRISON. The bride was exquisitely dressed in white brocaded silk trimmed with orange blossoms. The groom was dressed in the conventional suit of black. Mr. Steve J. CHAMPION acted as best man to the groom, and Miss Josie Peard, beautifully and tastefully attired, was the attendant of the bride. The spacious room in which the ceremony took place was gracefully decorated with holly berries and evergreens and was filled with a large company of friends who had come to witness the happy event and to extend hearty congratulations and felicitations to the bride and groom. After the ceremony several hours were pleasantly spent in social enjoyment. Messrs. CHAMPION, PEARCE, DEARBORN and NICHOLS favored the company with delightful music, while fair hands temptingly served dainty refreshments. So pleasant was the occasion that it was well toward the morning when the delighted guests departed for their homes.
Mr. GILBERT, the groom, for several years prior to his coming to Princeton, was a citizen of Coulterville. He came to Princeton in ’99, and was the popular and efficient mechanical engineer of the mine at Princeton. He is a young man of exemplary habits and sterling character.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Martha PEARD, who until her removal to Princeton a year ago lived in the vicinity of Quartzburg. The bride was born and reared in that vicinity, and is very much beloved for her many excellent traits of character. The happy couple left on Thursday morning
stage for a bridal trip to San Francisco.
Many beautiful and costly presents were received from their many well wishers.
