MARRIED AT FRUITLAND
 
One of the most charming and elaborate social events  of the season occurred 
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Pathael on the evening of Sept. 7th, when 
their daughter Florence was married to Mr. Bert Melcher.  The house and lawn 
were beautifully decorated and arranged to accommodate the guests, who were 
present to the number of about 135.  "Sing Me to Sleep" was sweetly sung by 
Miss Mamie Bayer.  Then as Mrs. H. C. Trevillion played the wedding march the 
bridal party took their places in an arch of white astors and under a bell of 
the same flowers.  First came the officiating clergyman, Rev. A. F. White, 
then the groom with Mr. Charlie Pathael as best man, the bridemaid, Miss 
Maimie Bayer, and the bride leaning upon the father's arm.
 
It was a deeply impressive service as the groom received his bride at the hand 
of the father and placed on her hand the wedding ring Mr. and Mrs. Melcher 
then received the hearty congratulations of many of their friends, several of 
whom had come a long distance for the occasion.  The bridemaid and Miss Maude 
Stegall from Boise, B. F. Chapman from South Dakota, L. M. Lake and daughters 
Anna and Bessie from Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Manis from Little Willow, 
Mrs. C. O. Haines from Portland, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Marquis from Cambridge, 
Ed Williams and sister Maud from Nampa and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Travillion from 
North Powder, Oregon.
 
Tables had been set upon the lawn where the guests were served with appetizing 
refreshments.  The esteem of friends was expressed in the many and valuable 
gifts for home and personal use.
 
Taking train the same evening, the bridal couple will visit the A. Y. P., 
Portland, and other coast towns.  Their future home will be a 40 of the 
Melcher ranch, eight miles southeast of town.  Highly esteemed by all who know 
them they have the best wished of many friends.
