     In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, between this village and Himrod, last Wednesday

which were fastened hyacinths and carried a bouquet of American Beauty roses and hyacinths. She
was attended by her sister, Miss Belle Wilson, who wore pale green taffeta with iridescent
trimmings and carried yellow roses and sweet peas.  John MacFarlane, of Himrod, was best man.
Meryl Wilson and Laura Fultz, brother and cousin of the bride, were flower bearers.  The
ceremony was performed under and arch of evergreen and pink and white carnations, the color
scheme of the room decorations being green and white. Immediately following the ceremony, a
wedding supper was served, the bride's table being decorated with pink and white carnations.
Miss Irene Guilfoyle, of Syracuse, played the wedding music.  Besides those present from this
vicinity, guests came from Syracuse, Elmira, Branchport, and Hagersville, Can.  Mr. and Mrs.
Wheeler left on the evening train for a trip to Canada and on their return they will live with
the groom's parents south of this village.  The groom is a well known farmer of this town and
the bride is a former student at Dundee High School.
