Feb. 12, 1875 Circleville, Ohio Note from transcriber: I assume the Portsmouth Times covered the city of Portsmouth, Ohio, which is Scioto County. DAMARIN & MCFARLAND - We take the following from the report in Portsmouth Times, of the wedding of Charles C. DAMARIN and Miss Jennie MCFARLAND, youngest daughter of Mr. A. MCFARLAND, editor of Portsmouth Tribune, formerly of Circleville Herald, on 2d inst., at All Saints Church, in that place: "By seven o'clock all were seated, and in a few minutes all eyes were turned to the doors, as the bridal party made its entrance at the foot of the main aisle. It was preceded by two beautiful blondes of twelve and thirteen, dressed in white tarletan, Miss Mary DAMARIN, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Katie KREIGH, of Chicago, cousin of the bride. They were followed by two Misses of seven years, Miss Lillie MCFARLAND, dressed in white with pink sash, Miss Tillie KRIEGH, in pink, both cousins of the bride. These Misses kept step to the swelling music of the rich organ, as they passed up the aisle. The attendants came next, Miss Edith SAFFORD, daughter of Judge SAFFORD, of Chillicothe, escorted by Dan. MCFARLAND, youngest brother of the bride, Miss Jennie TEWKSBURY and Mr. Walter CISSNA, Miss Katie HULL and Mr. John W. KINNEY, Miss Lou TOWELL and Mr. M.W. REYNOLDS, of Cleveland, a college mate of the bridegroom. The happy couple came last. Miss MCFARLAND was dressed in a delicate rose-colored silk, and diamonds, the long filmy veil dropped gracefully to the floor, but it did not conceal the sparkling eyes of the bewitching brunette, who leaned trustingly on the strong arm of her lover." At eight o'clock the invited guests to the number of three hundred, were handsomely received by the parents of the bride at their residence, on Second Street, where tables were spread up stairs and down.
