A Recent Pretty Wedding
Nuptials of Mr. Macaw and Miss Shaw
The Ceremony was Performed in the Methodist Episcopal 
Church in Tuckahoe on the 14th Instant.
  The marriage of Miss Sara E. Shaw, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
George Shaw, of Tuckahoe, to Mr. N. James Macaw, on the 14th, 
instant at the Methodist church in Tuckahoe, was one of the 
pleasant events of this season.
  The marriage was of unusual interes in this city as the 
groom is a resident here and a valuable employee of Whitall, 
Tatum Co, while the bride is a trained nurse and known 
everywhere for her sweetness of character. According to the 
bride's wishes and good taste, the wedding was planned with 
the utmost simplicity and everything about the affair had that 
air, although it was very pretty and charming throughout.
  The bride wished to be marrid at her old home and to be 
surrounded by all of her friends in the village, therefore 
almost the entire community recieved and invitation and all 
responded with readiness to see of the girls who had grown up 
among them married.  The wedding took place at 8 o'clock, the 
Rev. E. H. Durrell, of Woodbury, a life-ling friend of the 
bride's father, performing the ceremony.
  The bride was led to the altar by her brothers, William H. 
Shaw, of Atlantic City, inspector of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
and John R. Shaw, of Tuckahoe.
  The bride was prettily attired in Persian lawn, made enirely 
of tucks and insertion with a guduate ruffle and slight train.  
The gown fit her form supremely and, although planned to be 
plain, made a very elegant appearance.  She carried a large 
bouquet of perfect white rosebuds.  The groom wore the 
conventional suit of black broadcloth and the brothers of the 
bride, who attended her, wore light trousers and black sack 
coats and white vests.  They each wore a small rosebud from 
the bride's bouquet in their coat lapel.
  Immediately after the ceremony and congratulations by the 
friends there the wedding party were driven to the home of the 
bride's parents where an informal reception was held.  The 
bride is the niece of the Rev. Dr. E. C. Sunfield, who is so 
well known throughout this section of the country, and is also 
connected with other prominent families.  She has spent a great 
deal of her time in the last few years here.
  Mr. and Mrs. Macaw took up their residence immediately after 
their marriage in their own home at 249 South Second street, in 
this city, where they are now at home to friends.  They were 
the recipients of some very handsome presents.  The groom's gift 
to the bride was a beautiful set of silver.  The wedding party 
were given an elaborate course dinner by the parents of the 
groom at 5 o'clock before the wedding.  Those who attended the 
dinner were: Mr. and Mrs. George H. Shaw, William H. Shaw, of 
Atlantic City; Mr. and Mrs. Philip Shaw, Edward Lloyd, of 
Bridgeton; Milton Garrison, Sidney Bailey, John R. Shaw, George 
Dawson, of Brooklyn; Mr. Springer, Rev. E. H. Durell, of 
Woodbury; George Shaw Jr., Jesse Shaw, Edward H. Shaw and Miss
