At 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon Rev. J. H. Mathers, of Bellwood, united in the holy bonds of matrimony Mr. Blair W. Cornmesser, of Bellwood, and Miss Bertha Glunt, of Logan township. There were present a number of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties, and at the conclusion of the ceremony all were invited to partake of an elegant dinner which had been prepared for them. To this all did justice, and the manner in which the viands disappeared was ample proof that they were appreciated. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Jonathan Glunt, one of Logan township's best citizens, and is a very excellent young lady, enjoying the esteem of a large circle of friends who will join in wishing her a life of happiness.
