Maryland Journal  May 24, 1890

GWYNN - HOWARD   The wedding of Miss Amanda Howard, niece of Col. Richard M. Howard, 
of "My Lady's Manor," and Mr. John H. Gwynn, of Washington, D. C., took place in 
Washington on the 27th inst. at the residence of the uncle of the bride, Mr. Frank 
A. Richardson.  The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Kervick, of 
St. Matthew's Church.  The house was embowered in arching palms and tall rubber 
trees, and the cool deep green of the foliage plants was relieved in numerous places 
by great bunches of fragrant pink roses.  The bride and groom stood under an arch 
covered with mossy ferns during the ceremony.  Miss Howard is a tall, graceful 
blonde, with a brilliant complexion and a gracious manner.  She wore at her wedding 
a traveling dress of gray Henrietta cloth trimmed with faille, with the toque in 
the same color in velvet and silk and a pink wreath.  She held a huge bouquet of 
La France roses.  After the marriage the wedding party walked into the dining-room, 
where a bountiful collation was spread.  Only the near relatives and a few very 
intimate friends were invited.  The wedding presents were numerous, handsome and 
valuable.

KAUFMANN - YOST   Cards have been issued for the marriage of Miss Ollie Yost, of 
Govanstown, and Mr. Edward Kaufmann, of Baltimore.

NAIMASTER - WINTERSTEIN   Quite a large crowd assembled at the Luthern Church, 
Putty Hill, on 18th inst., to witness the marriage of Mr. Henry J. Naimaster and 
Miss Anna Winterstein.  The ushers were Mr. Conrad Winterstein, brother of the 
bride, and Miss Anna Graetzel.  The young couple have the good wishes of all.  
Rev. Mr. Graetzel, the pastor of the church, officiated.

RANKIN - PEACOCK   On the evening of the 15th inst., in the Presbyterian Church of 
Berlin, N. J., Rev. Robert J. Rankin, son of Mr. S. M. Rankin, of Baltimore county, 
Md., and pastor of Pine Grove Presbyterian Church, York county, Pa., and Miss 
Lizzie, youngest daughter of Mr. James M. Peacock, of Berlin, N. J., were united 
in marriage by the Rev. Louis A. Hyde, assisted by Revs. Wm. H. Moose and J. S. 
Whittington, Miss A. Victoria Rankin, sister of the groom, and Rev. K. J. Stewart, 
Pastor Slateville Presbyterian Church, acted as bride's-maid and groom's-man.  Mrs. 
Wm. H. Moose presided at the organ.  Revs. Frank Everitt and W. A. Price and Messrs. 
Wm. T. Peacock, F. J. Sawyer were the ushers.  Preceding the bridal party up the 
aisle walked Miss Bessie Peacock, a five-year-old niece of the bride, carrying a 
basket of beautiful flowers.  After the ceremony the guests, a goodly number, 
repaired to the house of Mr. F. Groff, brother-in-law of the bride, where a 
reception was held, a collation served and an opportunity afforded to inspect the 
many handsome, appropriate and costly presents to bride and groom.  The bridal 
party left on 9.22 P. M. train for Philadelphia and expect to spend several weeks 
on their tour.  All in all the affair was exceedingly pleasant.

RILEY - BRACHEN   The marriage of Mr. George Froescher Riley, formerly of Ashland, 
Baltimore county, to Miss Kitty Brachen, was solemnized at Duquesne, Pa., on May 
15th.  Owing to the death of the bride's father recently, the wedding was a very 
quiet one, and the happy pair went immediately to house keeping.  Mr. John T. 
Riley and wife, father and mother of the groom, spent the week in Braddock in 
order to be present at the ceremony.  They have the best wishes of their many 
friends in the county and we wish them a bright future.
