Married.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Larson of Indian Lake was the scene of a happy event Wednesday afternoon, when their daughter Lucy Elizabeth Larson was married to Chas. R. Saxon of the same place. The ceremony was witnessed by a large company of friends and was followed by the customary festivities.

The contracting parties are well known and highly esteemed young people, and have a host of friends whom the Advance joins in extending congratulations.

The bride was the recipient of a large collection of presents.

-------------------

The marriage of Miss Lillian R. Rohr of Sioux City, Iowa, and John F. Ryan of Worthington, occurred at the Cathedral of Epiphany on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 9 o'clock, Rev. J.L. Kerby, a friend of the bride's family officiating.

As the pipe organ pealed forth the strains of the wedding march, the bride and groom, attended by Miss Rose Grady of O'Neill, Nebr., and Robert Ryan of Worthington, moved down the aisle and took their places in the Sanctuary where the marriage ceremony took place.

The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of white silk with point lace trimmings. A bridal veil and wreath of orange blossoms most fittingly completed the costume.

Immediately following the ceremony the wedding party was driven to the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Homer V. Garretson where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served to the relatives and immediate friends of the bride and groom. The house was tastefully decorated with potted plants, cut flowers and autumn leaves.

Mr. and Mrs. Ryan departed on an evening train for their future home in Worthington, where Mr. Ryan has been for some time successfully engaged in business.

Upon their arrival a reception was tendered them at the home of the groom's mother. The young couple will begin housekeeping at once in the newly furnished home which Mr. Ryan has prepared for his bride. They will be at home after Nov. 10.
