A PRETTY HOME WEDDING
Miss Bessie Pearl Wertz and Oliver R. Mock Married

  Yesterday at eleven o'clock, Miss Bessie Pearl Wertz, daughter of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob W. Wertz was united in marriage to Oliver Rush 
Mock, of Altoona. The beautiful ring ceremony of the Lutheran church 
was used. Promptly at the hour mentioned above the happy young couple 
took their places before Rev. E. M. Morgan in the south parlor of the 
Wertz home, corner of Twelfth street and Woodland avenue, who said the 
words that made them man and wife.
  The home was beautifully decorated with mock orange blossoms, peonies 
and roses, the color scheme being pink and white. The arch way between 
the reception room and parlor where the ceremony was performed was 
tastefully trimmed with white and pink laurel blossoms. The bride wore 
a gown of white Persian lawn trimmed in Val lace and carried a 
beautiful bouquet of white roses and carnations. She was attended by 
her sister, Miss Jeannetta Wertz as bridesmaid, the best man being John 
B. Hamor, of Altoona. While the bride and groom were taking their 
places before the altar and during the ceremony, the beautiful strains 
of Mendelssohn's wedding march were heard pealing throughout the home, 
played by Miss Sarah Wertz, another sister of the bride. After the 
ceremony the thirty guests sat down to an excellent wedding dinner 
after which the bride and groom departed on No. 15, due here at 2:22 
for Pittsburg and points west, where they will spend their honeymoon.
  The bride is one of Tyrone's most excellent young ladies and is fully 
capable of making and taking care of a home. For a number of years she 
filled a clerkship position in her brother's grocery store and through 
her kind disposition she won the friendship of many. The groom has been 
employed as a conductor for a number of years by the Altoona and Logan 
Valley Electric Railway company and is known as one of the most 
efficient employees on the Tyrone division. After an extended wedding 
tour through western states, Mr. and Mrs. Mock will return to Altoona 
where they will go to house keeping in their newly furnished home at 
2713 Seventh avenue.
   The Herald joins in with their many friends in wishing them a life 
filled with joy and happiness.
