KINCH - M'CUNE.
The Very Pretty Wedding Which Occurred in Altoona Last Evening.

  The spacious auditorium of the First Lutheran church of this city was 
comfortably filled last evening.  This goodly company had gathered to 
witness the marriage of Mr. Lewis E. Kinch and Miss Elda M. McCune, two 
of Altoona's most popular and estimable young people.  The impressive 
ceremony took place at 8 o'clock and the officiating clergyman was the 
Rev. E. D. Weigle, pastor of the church.  Miss Minnie Balsinger, of 
Johnstown, was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Grace 
Kinch, Miss Alma Schenk, Miss Mary Baxter and Miss Maggie Goodfellow, 
of this city.  The groom's best man was Mr. Thomas B. Smith, of 
Waynesboro, while the ushers were Messrs. Frank M. Morrow, N. L. Lynam, 
R. A. Zentmyer and William M. Kinch.  The bride was attired in a gown 
of beautiful white silk, (en train) with feather trimming and wore a 
veil.  The maid of honor and bridesmaids all looked charming in their 
exquisite gowns.  The groom and his best man were attired in full dress 
suits.  The marriage ceremony was a most beautiful one, the answers 
were plainly heard and as the party stood at the altar and the solemn 
words were spoken the scene was one of more than ordinary beauty.
  After receiving the congratulations of their many friends Mr. and 
Mrs. Kinch, with their immediate relatives, were driven to the home of 
the bride, where a beautiful wedding collation awaited them.  On 
eastern express last night the happy couple departed on an extended 
tour. At its conclusion they will return to Altoona and will make this 
city their future home.  The presents received by the bride were not 
only numerous but beautiful, useful and costly.
  The groom is a son of David and Isabella Kinch, of 1116 Fifth avenue.  
He is by occupation a machinist and is in the employ of the 
Pennsylvania railroad company.  A young man of excellent character, 
genial in his manner, and the possessor of the esteem of all who know 
him, he is deserving of all good fortune.  The bride is the daughter of 
Mrs. M. J. McCune, of 1322 Seventh avenue.  A young lady endowed with 
those attributes which make a loving wife, she is deserving of all the 
good wishes which were bestowed upon her last evening for her future 
happiness.  
  In the many congratulations the TRIBUNE most heartily joins.
