Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 26 Oct 1900, p. 3, c. 4
Married-–Bates-Medynski. The very pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. F. V. Medynski 
was thrown open to their most intimate friends, Wednesday evening, October 
24th, to witness the marriage of their only daughter, Henrietta Amelia, to Wm. 
W. Bates, of this city.
The double parlors were profusely decorated in white bunting and festoons of 
ivy. The corner where the happy couple stood was formed by an arch of green 
and white, with a white silk parasol covered with white chrysanthemums, 
conveying the wish that their future may be protected from all storms and that 
only showers of blossoms may be their lot. Potted plants and large quantities 
of white roses made the rooms look very handsome. The dining room was 
decorated in pink. The ceiling and walls were covered with a drapery of pink 
bunting and the tables were dainty with La France roses and pink centerpieces. 
The young ladies who served the luncheon were attired in pink to carry out the 
color scheme in this dainty bower of good cheer.
After a vocal solo by Miss Rhinehart and a violin solo by Miss Fern Norris, to 
the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, played by Miss Rhinehart, the 
groom and his best man, Robert Lawton, marched to the arch, there to await the 
bridal party, which came from the opposite directions. Little Ruth Norris and 
Loraine Lawton carried white satin ribbons which formed the aisle down which 
passed Miss Fannie Haskins as bridesmaid. Then came the bride on the arm of 
her father. She looked fair, indeed, in a white brocaded silk gown trimmed in 
true lovers’ knots of real lace, and wearing orange blossoms, sent by friends 
in California, and carrying Bride roses. The groom, attired in conventional 
black, stepped forward, and the marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. T. L. 
Crandall, followed by prayer by Rev. J. Merley, after which good wishes and 
congratulations were extended. 
The bride has lived in this city for several years, having finished her 
education in our high school, and has many friends who wish her much future 
happiness. The groom is a well known young man, having been in business here 
for several years, and he is to be congratulated on his choice.
After the luncheon was served the wedding cake was cut and the ring was found 
by Miss Maggie Bellinger in the piece she cut, which signifies that she will 
be the next bride. Boxes of the cake, tied iwht white ribbons, were given to 
the guests. Many presents were received, consisting of cut glass, silverware, 
point lace, etc.
Those present who signed their names in the bride’s book were as follows: Rev. 
and Mrs. Crandall, Rev. and Mrs. J. Merley, Judge W. S. Crowell, Mr. and Mrs. 
J. H. Norris, Prof. and Mrs. N. L. Narregan, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Haskins, Mr.
