Wertman and Parken. Perhaps the most complete surprise the people of Morrowville ever witnessed was the marriage of Mr. Gierson WERTMAN and Miss Lulu H. PARKEN. The morning was bright and clear a large audience was present at the church. Miss Lulu presided at the organ for Sunday school and church as usual. Mr. Wertman coming later with father and mother. At the close of the seromn the audience joined in singing "Blest be the tie that Binds," and when the third verse was sung the young couple presented themselves at the altar and the pastor, Rev. Hollar, pronounced them man and wife. The groom is well known in Washington county and very highly respected by all. He is prominent in politices and best of all in religion, always taking a part with the young people. The bride is the popular school teacher at Morrowville and very much loved and admired by all. They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends for future happiness and prosperity.
