The Constitution, June 25, 1891
Chinamen Give A Bible
To Their Sunday School Teacher on Her Marriage -- A Happy Wedding.
Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock Mr. Albert H. Schenk and Miss Florence 
Shackelford entered the Walker street church.

In a few minutes they came out man and wife.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. R. King, in a manner calculated to 
inspire all with the beauty and impressiveness of such a step.  A large crowd 
of friends attended, and after the ceremony showered their congratulations upon 
the happy couple.

Among those present who bore the deepest admiration for the lovely bride were 
twelve Chinamen.  They knew Miss Shackelford as a Christian lady, teaching the 
word of God in the Sunday school at their church.  Often had they received 
consolation and words of advice from her lips, and their affection and 
admiration for her is unbounded.

They not only attended the wedding, but contributed $5 towards purchasing a 
handsome Bible, presented the bride by the Sunday school.

The groom is a well-known machinist working for Winship & Brother, and has 
gained many friends by his conduct and nature.
