Franklin - Jones

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.D. Adams, the bride's sister, Mr. W.J.
Franklin and Miss Mary Will Jones were united in marriage on Wednesday
afternoon, the ceremony being performed by Rev. S.R. England in a
beautiful and impressive manner. A very large crowd of the friends of
the contracting parties were present to witness the ceremony and offer
congratulations to the happy young couple. Mr. Franklin is one of our
most progressive business men and well known for his Christian integrity
and genial disposition. The bride is a pretty and charming young lady.
She graduated at Millersburg female college a year ago, and only
recently returned from a trip abroad where she took course in music and
art specially.

Mr. Franklin has purchased the Hunt house and lot on Concord street, and
having had it conveniently furnished, carries his bride there. We offer
our heartiest congratulations.
