Florence, of Milo. The ceremony was performed at a few minutes passed 8 o'clock, Rev. B. W. Hamilton officiating. The bride and groom entered the parlor unattended, and stood during the service under a bower of evergreen, the traditional horseshoe occupying a conspicuous place, as if keying the arch. After the usual congradulations, refreshments were served to the delight and satisfaction of the invited guests. A table well laden with the usual variety of presents, testified to the esteem in which the coontracting parties are held by their numerous friends. All who were present will long remember the occasion as one of much interest and happiness. -- Unidentified newspaperr clipping from the scrapbook of Viola Emma Florance Rose ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miss Lydia and Lizzie Darin attended the wedding of Miss Dollie Struble, of Dundee, on New Year's Eve. -- Unidentified newspaperr clipping from the scrapbook of Viola Emma Florance Rose, Hand-dated 1891 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marriage License: Town of Barrington, Yates Co., NY Marriage Register #41 31 DEC 1891 by B.
