Hornberger-Elliot

Burgess John E. Hornberger gave his friends in this place a surprise this week 
by slipping off to Taneytown, Tuesday evening, where he was united in marriage 
to Miss Mary Josephine Elliot, say the Littlestown Independent.  Mr. Hornberger, 
accompanied by Miss Maude Lippy and brother, Winfield, who he had invited “to go 
on a hay ride,” left here Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock in J. M. Strevig’s 
automobile for Taneytown, and it was not until their arrival there that the 
party knew the object of the trip.  The wedding took place at 8 o’clock at the 
Parochial residence, Rev. Fr. Lennon performing the ceremony.

Immediately thereafter the party was driven to York where the bride and groom 
took the 10:35 train for Harrisburg en route to Altoona, where they are spending 
their honeymoon.  

The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hornberger, and has been burgess of 
Littlestown for the past four years.  The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Chas. Elliot, of Taneytown.
