HOUSER -~-MOERSCHBACHER.— A pretty
hut quiet wedding was celebrated at the
parsonage of St. Joha's Catholic church, at
7:30 o'clock on Tuesday evening, when
William A. Houser and Miss Lucy Moersch-
bacher were united in marriage. Rev.
Father McArdle performed the ceremony
and the attendants were Ralph Moerseh-
bacher, a brother of the bride, and Miss
Sarah Kelley
The young couple endeavored to keep the
fact of their intended marriage a secret and
succeeded in doing so until within a few
days previons, hat the news leaked out and
| their many friends joined in giving them a
| royal send-off by festooning and tying cow-
! bells to the cab in which they were driven
to the parsonage and when they left on
| their trip to Milesburg to take the train for
a brief honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls
they created quite a furore. However, as
€oop as they got beyond the reach of their
pleasure loving friends they bad the driver
remove all tell tale objects and they drove
into Mileshurg as sedate-looking as any
man and wife conld be.
The bride, who was handsomely gowned
ina hrown ser. e traveling suit, came to
Bellefonte with her parents less than three
vears ago but in that time has made many
friends and is entitled to a long life of bap-
pivess. The bridegroom isa son of Mis.
Awanda Honser. He isa monlder for J.
H. Lingle and is a sober,indnstrions sonny
man. It is their intention to go to bounse-
keepiog in the near future, The WarcH-

BULLOCK—DMUSSER. — A very unpre
tentions hat pretty wedding was that cele-
brated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Musser, on east Lamb street, at 6:30 o'clock
iast evening, when their only daoghter,
Mies Ella Catharine Musser became the
bride of John M. Bullock. Owing to the
recent death of the bridegroom's uncle the
wedding was a very quiet affair, only the
immediate friends of the contracting parties
heing present. Notwithstanding this fact,
however, the interior of the Musser resi-
dence was very prettily decorated with
| ferns and golden rod.
Rev. James B. Stein, of the Methodist
| eborch, performed the ceremony and the
| only attendant was Ella Masser, the little
| niece of the bride, as flower girl, while
| Miss Mary Woods, of Pine Grove Mills,
played the wedding march. Following the
ceremony the bridal party and few guests
present were served with a very tempting
wedding dinuer and at 8:16 Mr. and Mis
Bullock left on the train for a wedding
journey which will include a visit to sev-
eral of the eastern cities as well as a trip to
Canada. Upon their return to Bellefonte
they will go to housekeeping in ove of Dr.
Hayes’ new houses on Curtin street.
Both the bride and bridegroom are too
well known in Beliefoute to need any eu-
logies from us. The former is an accom-
plished young woman and has for some
time past been associated with ber father in
basives« while the latter is the junior
| member of the firm of Montgomery & Co.,
