RECEPTION IN HONOR OF DOUBLE WEDDING

Misses Naomi and Grace Keagy Take Husbands Within Period of Two Weeks

  A wedding supper was held last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. 
Keagy, at 203 East Fourth avenue, in which the four contracting parties were 
in attendance and received the congratulations of friends and neighbors.
  The first wedding was held at Cumberland on August 22, when Miss Naomi 
Keagy was married to Mr. Harry Siders of Harrisburg, at the Methodist church 
at Cumberland by the Rev. Dawson, pastor of the church.  The groom had 
previously been accepted by the local draft board at Harrisburg, but only to 
be rejected later at camp.  They will reside at Harrisburg, where the groom 
is employed with the P.R.R. there.
  The second wedding took place at Canton, O., on September 2, Labor Day.  
The bride was Miss Grace Keagy and the groom Mr. George Veitch, of Canton.  
The bride has resided with her grandmother for the past year at Canton, while 
the groom is employed there at the Timkins Roller Bearing Manufacturing 
company.  The parents witnessed the wedding ceremony.
  When the parents returned home with Mr. and Mrs. Veitch, a surprise awaited 
them.  They found that their daughter Naomi had become the wife of Mr. Harry 
Siders and that both were awaiting them at home.  Accordingly, the presence 
of the two couples was made the occasion for general rejoicing and 
culminating in the wedding supper held at the home of the parents last 
evening.
  The guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dailey, Mrs. William Keagy, 
Mrs. W. Fink and family, Mr. Fred Houser and family, Mr. William Biggard and 
family, Mrs. Harry Loner and family, Mr. Daniel Tritl and family, and Mrs. 
Mary Oswald, aged 84 years.
